Jayne, Is he actually going to build something to hang on the building that resembles a patchwork quilt? He has the right idea and the thought behind it is right on!

Wow, tell us more. I wasn't sure if you or your grandson wrote the senior thesis. What was the subject and how did it tie in with a dormitory, achitecture, and quilting? Will there be a quilt design in bricks and mortar? This is quite fascinating and congratulations!
Jeanne

He will be graduating in May from Alfred with an Architectureal Degree.
As senior thesis project he had to design an original plan for a proposed a New Student living quarters at the collage. The facade is designed so "it almost looks like a patchwork quilt"; thus the name:Buchanan Hall aka "The Quilt".
It is only his thesis but these design will be entered for consideration.
I was pleased that he use us (me and my quilt influence) as the name for his project. When he was in high school he designed and made a lap size quilt with my help from a painting he had done.

Very impressive Jayne!!!! He appears to have your artistic genes. Keep us posted.

Very very cool! What a great tribute to you! He is definitely making sure he is your favorite grandson!!!! I think you told us about his quilt from a painting he made (or am I dreaming?).
Congrats on his upcoming graduation.

Wonderful! Congratulations to you and to him.

Jayne,
That is so cool! You just never know how we influence our children (and grandkids) and what a positive impact we have. Congrats to you - and I hope his design is selected!

I wasn't dreaming......I remember that quilt! and your Grandson - I was so impressed! He is going to go far. Tell him to keep following his dream.

Terrific! Both he and you!

Thank you everyone. He does make me proud. He spent the last half of his Junior year studying in Italy which was a big thing for him. Jayne
