How nice that these challenges were combined today! The Teapot Challenge and today's Color Challenge work together quite well.
I think Aquilta's head will spin when she see's all the lovely entries for today! Just let her try and count all those stitches.
My mother used to collect fabric. She didn't make quilts with it, she made our clothes when we were little, but I know she still has a stash of fabric. I started collecting fabric when I was young and it really became a problem when I went to work part-time for the Rag Shop. Anyone remember the Rag Shop? Where you could get cheap calico fabric? I actually made a queen size quilt for less than $14 once upon a time.
I lost my sewing machine of 30 yrs. a couple of years ago. It's cracked gears were unreplaceable and I haven't sewn since. But I still use a lot of the tools from my "quilting days" in my card making. And now I think my stash of paper has surpassed my stash of fabric.
So here's my paper pieced lattice framed teapot. I hand drew the pot and rummaged through my stash for the remnants that made it.

Wonderful card - perfect quilting pattern! I still haven't done this challenge - nothing like doing MMTPT85 before 84! I can relate to your comment about your large paper stash - you have some great paper!
