I'm new to making quilts although I grew up with them around me. My mother made the most wonderful Hawaiian quilts, but I was never interested. Now that I'm a senior, I've made 2 quilts and discovered how much I enjoy it (finally turned into my mother). Anyway, since I'm not familiar with all the acronyms you all use, is there a list of the acronyms and their meanings I can print and use to read all the posts? I don't know half of what some of the ladies are saying. It would help a lot. A big MAHALO (thank you) for your help.

Hello and welcome from Ontario. I am sure that if you do a search here you will find the links that let you in on the acronyms that are being used.

Thank you all for the suggestions. I did print out the ones from The Quilting Gallery Blog and am sure I can find a lot more. The response was quick. I have a feeling this will be the start of a new artistic avenue I never ever thought I'd enjoy. Have learned it's never to late to start. Thanks again for the nice reception and good wishes.
