If he liked his quilt that much, I bet he might like help designing the one for his buddy.
Since there is a big difference in size, I would stagger the panels and use the black around them followed by red and white flying geese (maybe the 3D ones made with just one seam?) a black border or simple block or piano border. Your son can probably give his suggestions as you show each step so he is a part of the precess.
