    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!

    Hi, Klswift:

    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!

    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.

    Thanks everyone for the messages. I finished the top this Christmas. I might find a way to post a picture here later.
