I've never followed a pattern before, but when I saw a quilt like this at a quilt shop, I had to make it. It is Elizabeth Hartman's "Lloyd & Lola" pattern:

The reviews of the pattern say that the instructions are clear. I like making my own quilt patterns because I find written directions hard to follow. Those cute little llama faces have 52 pieces in them! I thought it was hard because of my inexperience, but it was worth the effort. I think they are so cute.
I used polyester batting and quilted it with pinstripes and a serpentine stitch in between.
I named my llamas "Rosa & Tomas."
