This is simple, but it might work. Just add two long pieces of plain fabric to the sides to make it wider. You could make 3 of nine patches, or your favorite block in the farm colors, then add borders until it is the size you want.
If you look, you might find fabric printed with leaves, or tree branches, or grass, or cows or horses, whatever he would like.
