Default Stupid Question

I have read about BOOMs?
What is that?

I know BOM is Block of the Month....but Boom?

(although I think my sewing room went boom....it's a disaster zone right now!)

thanks for getting me up to speed here

Maybe it's auto-correct?

I am wondering if you are thinking of the Boomerang swaps??

Just go to one first posts of any of the current Boomerang swaps going on and it explains the rules.

I have no idea what BOOM means but would like to know also. I have seen it on this QB. Anxiously awaiting an answer from someone that is well informed on the lingo!

I thought that BOOM was just how you pronounced BOM.

Never heard of it. Maybe someone hit an extra O button. What my husband calls "fat-fingered". And believe me, he would know. Lol.

Boom may be short for boomerang---the boomerang (boom) swaps~

Is there anyone who can explain to us exactly how a quilt BOOM works? The rules seem simple enough, except I have no idea what my job would be....
