    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....
