Welcome!
The alphabet soup can be a little confusing at times. I know I was lost at the start, and gradually got into the swing of things!
I'm sure someone will come on and give you a link to the extensive list. Sorry I don't have it.
As a starter and to answer the one you specifially asked about ...
OBW = One Block Wonder
and often seen with OBW is reference to
4PP = Four Patch Posey
SAW = Stack and Whack
And one that had me stifled for awhile
LQS = Local Quilt Shop
As you have others, don't hesitate to ask!

Hi & welcome - you can also use the "Search" at the top of the page - type in acronyms or abbreviations. It will take you to some links to lists.
I had the same problem at 1st. I copied & saved a list to my 'quilts' folder to refer to, but now can figure out a lot of them. Some are still a mystery to me.
Have a blessed day
