FREE Tomato Pattern

While designing the Chance of Rain pattern, I couldn’t help but think, “How cute would this quilt look with tomatoes instead of umbrellas?” And just like that, the Chance of...Tomatoes (?) quilt was born!

The Cherry Tomato block would be perfect for small projects (think pillows and tote bags) but paired with the flowers and gingham theme in the Chance of Rain quilt, it makes for the cutest summer-y looking quilt.

I made the quilt top in Robert Kaufman Kona solids! The names of the solids I used are: Cedar, Persimmon, Artichoke, Peach, Thistle, and Shell. A kit for a large throw (67" square) version of this quilt is available from Sewtopia!

Swapping out the Umbrella block for the Cherry Tomato block was super easy! I explain how in the pattern, but here’s a quick breakdown:

• Multiply the piece count: The Cherry Tomato block pattern is written for a single block. To make multiple blocks, simply multiply the number of blocks you want by the piece quantity listed in the pattern. For example, if you want to make 9 Cherry Tomato blocks, and the pattern calls for 2 B2 pieces per block, you’ll need 18 B2 pieces total.
• Cut only the Flower block pieces: From the Chance of Rain pattern, you’ll only need to cut the C, P, Q, R, S, T, and U pieces to make your Flower blocks. This applies no matter which quilt size you’re making!

That’s it! Super easy! I think the large throw version would make the cutest picnic quilt too.

Update! My tomato quilt is now quilted and bound! Here's how it turned out!

I used the Garden panto by Dastardly Quilt Studio and backed the quilt in Fableism's Lumiere House Dress Fairweather!

I went back and forth on which fabric to use for the binding. I really wanted to use what already had in my stash so I went with Kona Peach. I thought I might have regrets, but I'm so happy with how it turned out.

I'm also so happy with the texture the panto gives to the quilt. It has all the garden vibes too.
