I think that's a great idea and I would love to do that. We could do ramdom colors or have a theme for each person.

For example, I take 25 (or so) different fabrics in my stash, cut a 1 1/2" strip from each and sew the strips together. I then subcut this into 25 (or so) 1 1/2" strips. Each of these strips would have one each of the twenty five fabrics. I swap 24 of them with other swappers, so everyone ends up with 25 different strips.

Would that work? Would anyone be interested?
