For those of you who don't know, Heather (above) is my sister. That quilt that our great grandma made (green star quilt) previously lived at my sister's house. I traded her the quilt for a cool old trunk we found on the side of the road on garbage day. It was a win-win. She got the roadside find she wanted for a coffee table and I got grandma's quilt. So, when she says that her house has many pieces that were once curbside trash, it's true. But they are really GOOD pieces of trash!
