I created this thread with links about the different cuts of fabric, have fun reading to learn all about them

That's not a dumb question, we all have to learn sometime.

jelly rolls are 2 1/2 in strips that are the width of fabric (WOF) or 42 to 44 inches

fat quarters are pieces of fabric cut 18" x 22"

I believe charms are either a 4" square of a 5" square

there are also layer cakes, they are larger squares, but I'm not sure the size, maybe 10"???

and there is another one that is strips like the jelly rolls, I think they are called Honey Buns and are 1 1/2" by WOF.

Hope this helps!

fat quarters are 18 x 22 inches
Jelly rolls are 2.5 x width of fabric
honey buns are 1.5 x width of fabric
Charms are 5 inch square
Layer cakes are 10 inch sqare
Turnovers are triangles

thanks everyone

That is not a dumb question at all 2 years ago I couldn't wrap my brain around just what a fat quarter was, now I have more than enough. I like making table runners out of the charm packs. It is all coordinated and I don't have to match anything up. There are nice patterns out there for the precut fabrics.
Everyone here is so helpful. I have learned a lot reading the answers to other peoples questions.

Not at all a dumb question but I wish I never found out the answers hahahaha
I'm addicted to them :D

Turnovers are really YUMMY treats made with apples and cherries, and are SOOOOO good............WHOOPS, not those turn overs? LOL!

HAHAHAHAHA yeah!!! :thumbup:
