Little Llamas

At 17” tall, these llamas are smaller than the ones in my Lloyd and Lola pattern. Make the llama bodies with neutral solid fat quarters and decorate your llamas with blankets and legwarmers made with your favorite charm squares or scraps. Use additional charm squares to make colorful borders at the top and bottom of your quilt. Pattern includes instructions for making quilts in three sizes. Everything is sewn using conventional patchwork techniques. No templates or paper piecing!

CORRECTION

In the original printing of this pattern, the Background Fabric cutting instructions for the Lap Quilt (on Page 4) say to cut a strip of fabric 10½” x WOF. This should say 10¾” x WOF. If you’re already cut the strip at 10½”, don’t worry! You can still subcut pieces EE and DD from a 10½” x WOF strip.

I apologize for this confusion!
