I know what you mean ... and know how frustrated I was when I first started and was seeing all the alphabet soup. Believe me, I had some creative versions ... that were oh so wrong!

As I see more I am adding them to my master list ... please add any that are not on this list, in a post below.

At some point, we'll have to start a new thread with the new and improved listing.

A new one, not on the list .... PUPs .... Poor Unforgettable Projects.
I have lots of PUPpies!

Thanks for the additions ... I keep adding them to my master list and at some point, we'll start a new thread with the inclusions.

Anyone with more acronyms or quilt'isms to add ... please do share and post!

Some of my favorites can't be used here!!

It is nice having a consolidated list - thank you for doing that.

I won't say 'complete' list - because I don't think that is possible.
