In 2021, I made a donkey quilt in memory of my deceased son. He had one when he was little and wore it out thin! I found a pattern and I put it together and it was landscape instead of a portrait layout like his was. Is there anyone that could guide or help me to figure it out? I attached the quilt I made and the pattern I went by. Thanks in advance for any enlightenment! I really want to make a few more for my surviving children and his daughter.

I would just add borders to top and bottom same color as your background

What CJsews says -- easy enough to extend some background several squares top and bottom, and maybe one square on the sides too to keep the design centered.

I'd probably look at piecing an ending border to match the blanket/saddle design, but it looks like you didn't incorporate that into your original?

This is what I'd do. Easy enough and would work well.

No I didn't because my son's was a solid red donkey on muslin. So i tried to replicate it but in blue so I can give that to his daughter.

How frustratng for you! If you changed the dimensions of your squares from 2" to 2"x2.5" your quilt will be portrait.

Thank you jacqueck. I will work on it and see how that goes for me. I appreciate you.

I agree. I'm a little confused about what you want, however, if it is landscape for the donkey, add borders to each side of the pattern.
