Thanks Kassaundra! What a great idea for enhance the picture frame for each block! I love it!

I really like the first pic. Being a scientist (therefore having a science brain!), I think your son will like the clean format of the first one. The only change I would make would be to move the lowest white patch over a bit towards the middle. This would appear more balanced and it would provide a great spot for you to put a small label.
Your T-Shirt quilt is wonderful (balanced color and pix) and that is was your first quilt is amazing!

Thanks for the message and the suggestion! I have been contemplating about where I should put that big white square block. I am thinking of cutting each corner a bit so that it won't be a square (soften up a bit). That was also the reason I put a little graduation cap at the corner to break up the square shape a bit.
Thanks!

Hi, KLO:
Thanks for the input. My son won some scholarships (AXA, Coca-Cola, Intel STS) during his high school year. These scholarships are different from what he got from Harvard, which is financial needed based (not merit based). The t-shirt was an old one from his high school period that has nothing to do with Harvard financial Aid.
I should make his professional more clear. He synthesis organic molecules for drug discovery use - pharma industry.
I visited his place during Thanksgiving and it was nice to be away from ND.
Thanks for the message. Happy holiday!

My favourite is the first of your three pictures; the one that looks like yearbook pages (with the bonus of that great saying "My other ride is a scholarship"). The picture with quilt blocks in it takes away from the keepsake blocks, and the grid pattern is just a grid. The first actually displays your T-shirts and sayings.
