First quilt/ blanket

I know, revel in the beauty...
I always believed that there was a rule about your first quilt needing to be ugly and I took that to heart! (I took it to heart so well that my next 3-4 blankets were hideous too)  I made this in high school and some of the squares were articles of clothing that meant something (i.e. I was having a hard time just getting rid of) and other peoples articles of clothing that didn't mean anything.
Check out the back! Nice.

I don't know, there were a couple of times I thought about getting rid of this blanket because it's so ugly but then I remember how warm it is. When I was going to school in Siberia (Err, I mean Logan) my roommates dubbed this blanket "the heater", Tara and Tiffany used it often. So now I hide it in the closet and consider leaving it in our vehicle in case we get stranded in the middle of nowhere during a snowstorm, at least we won't freeze to death.
And that is how to NOT make a quilt.
