Ok I'm confused! I see so many abreviations for this and that like LQS...I think that means LOcal Quilt SHop then I'm lost on anything else, then I see "Layer cakes, jelly rolls, and so many others I can't think of...is there a place here that has meanings for these? I really don't mean to sound stupid but I honestly don't know!
It's like texting, older folks spell out the full words but the kids...well I couldn't read anything they say! Can someone please help me with this. I hope I'm not the only one here...Good Lord I'm embarrassed! Ha! :oops:

Layer cakes are 10" squares.
Jelly rolls are 2 1/2" strips width of fabric.
Charm packs are squares, usually 5".
Turnovers are triangles.
Honey buns are like jelly rolls only 1 1/2" strips.
I you go to the search feature there are a lot of posts for abbreviations.
We all had to learn these...

On the info you've sent from the link, I copied over and pasted into Word Office for future reference. Then will print after I feel I have what I think is the blunt of the "Language Of Quilters" I'll put it on the back of my desk wall. Thanks all!!
