So new to the quilting board and I am learning so much but I am falling short with all of acronyms. Anybody want to translate for me :)
UFO
HQT
FMO

That's just a few that i could think of right off the top of my head. Thanks so much! And I would just like to say wow all of you ladies (and gentlemen too) all are so busy with all of your projects. Makes my head spin a bit :)
