Hello out there, all you quilt junkies! I am new to this list and have been reading the messages yesterday and today. My curiosity is killing me -- what on Earth is up with all these messages about trolls and troll soup and trolls turning to stone?! And someone today was talking about "PP triangles" and "PP patterns." I am still learning cyberspeak, and I don't know what this means. Please clue me in. Thanks for all of your informative and humorous postings! Rebecca
Okay, I'm confused -- what's with the trolls and what does PP mean?

PP refers to paper piecing. It is a piecing technique which is quite accurate because the sewing lines are drawn on the paper (which is later removed). I think the more technical phrase is Foundation Paper Piecing or FPP but no matter.
I will leave the other explanation to someone else. My stance on that topic is to leave it alone!
And welcome Rebecca!

PP means paper-piecing. There are two types of paper-piecing: foundation paper piecing (FPP) and English paper piecing (EPP). PP probably refers to foundation paper piecing, as that seems to be the more common form these days.
For a good definition of troll, see . We've been bothered lately with a couple trolls on this newsgroup; that's why the jokes about troll soup, etc.

Simply ... trolls are individuals who post unwanted posts... seeking to agitate regular readers. They may post pornography
An addendum:
A while back were were teasing another set of trolls, and I came up with some ideas for cooking trolls. This is how I earned my R.C.T.Q Madame Chef des Trolls tittle. There are troll cooking recipes on my web site. The bread one is on the way...
