    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
    QS
    IMO
    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 :)

    UFO, Unfinished Object
    Not sure about HQt, but HST is half square triangle
    FMQ Free Motion Quilting, don't know about FMO
    LQS Local Quilt Store QS maybe just Quilt Store
    IMO In my Opinion
    IMHO In my humble opinion
    WIP Work in progress

    These are just a few. Sometimes I still have to ask.

    Here is a site with Quilt Acronyms
    http://www.quiltbug.com/Articles/quilt-terms.htm

    Hope this helps.
