I have one more detail question, then I think I'll know what I'm doing. "30 person limit, 2 per person" Not sure what this means. I assume (dangerous) that we send 30 charms, one for each person in the swap; but not sure about the 2 per person. Does this mean we can sign up twice, like being 2 people in the 30 limit? Or? Or? Thanks bunches, I'm so looking forward to the Valentine's fabrics. Since Valentine's Day is my anniversary (that way DH couldn't forget, <grin> this is special to me. carol/kittyquilt

The 2 per person part means that you put two different charm squares in each ziplock bag. Each person in the swap ends up with as many ziplocks as there are people in the swap. So if there are 30 people you'll get back a total of 60 charms.

It also means that you must prepare 30 pairs of charms to send out when the swap begins (if we get 30 people signed up). You don't have to make 60 *different* fabrics into charms though. What I have done before is to look through my fabric and start cutting as many charms as I could from each piece of fabric I picked. It doesn't matter if you send 30 identical sets of charms because they'll be sent to all different people.

If you want to sign up as two different people you can do that too. In this case you'll have to make more charms. If you do sign up as two people there is a possibility that you may get some matching pairs of charms back. For example, if I cut 30 sets of charms from only two different fabrics, you'll still get two of my charms sets because you'll be counted as two separate people. If you want to sign up this way just let me know your alternate name and I'll put you on the list!
