Stitch up an irresistibly charming herd of stylish pack animals with the Little Llamas Quilt Pattern by renowned modern designer Elizabeth Hartman. Featuring sweet pieced llamas outfitted in colorful saddle blankets, matching trim, and cozy striped legwarmers, this whimsical design is guaranteed to bring smiles to quilters and recipients alike.
Like all of Elizabeth Hartman's signature designs, Little Llamas is made entirely using standard conventional patchwork piecing techniques—no paper piecing, templates, or curved seams required!

Why We Love It
The mix-and-match charm squares make it a breeze to build a rainbow of festive saddle blankets and striped legwarmers! By pairing contrasting neutral solids (such as whites, oatmeals, warm tans, caramel browns, and charcoals) for the bodies and legs, each llama takes on its own distinct, adorable personality.
