It looks great! It looks like it is a square quilt,so there is no issue. Besides, the little one who receives it will probably turn it around to look at all the cute animals.

No matter the direction of the blocks, the little one will be thrilled to have something cool to look at while recovering.

How cute is that?!?!?! It will be very loved. Don't be so hard on yourself. Why do we always do that? You have a kind heart, a good soul and a talented hand. Any child will love that.

It looks fine to me. If it really bothers you, you can always add another boarder to the top & bottom (sides) to make it longer (wider) & then everyone will think you made it that way. It is a beautiful quilt. Don't be so hard on yourself.

[QUOTE=sval;6542505]I'm just sick about it. I didn't realize until I was cutting off the excess batting and backing. I made a quilt for charity. It's a 4 patch with white blocks in between. So I purchased embroidery designs and got to it. It's just adorable. But then the light bulb went off. I stitched the cute pictures so that it's landscape instead of portrait. So when it's on the sick child's bed at the hospital the pictures are going to be going sideways instead of the length of the bed.
I did the same thing on a quilt for our bed. It had sailboats that I had FMQ'd on it and they were sideways instead of vertical. It won't matter a bit!

I am sure the child will love it, that will be there very own quilt, it will always be special and I am sure they will not care about the way you think it should be. It will be very special to them I am sure. We as the quilter or embroider worry more about it than they will. Remember finished is better than perfect.
