Yes, the alphabet soup of acronyms can be frustrating.
The use of acronyms have been rampant in the world for a long time now, so I don't think their use will diminish here on the QB or elsewhere.
So it's best to just keep that list handy.
I too was frustrated at first, and would often subbed the wrong words with an acronym.
Gradually I got more familiar with them ... though every once in awhile, I need to ponder!
Ladies ... I am always looking for more acronyms and quilting definitions to add to the list.
Please post and share.
I will be posting an updated list in the next couple of months including all the additions that I've received since the first posting.
