it would be 56 total swaps - not that many. Frizzymama's swaps were limited to 2 slots per person to allow more swapers. Then each person got 2 copies of 56 fabrics - a great swap amount, in my opinion. Sign-ups were by color - a person signed up for a "black" or "orange" or "pink" fabric. Really gave a good variety to the swap fabrics. Swapping also was easier in her system - there were 56 piles of fabric - 1 complete set per sign-up. Then it was just a matter of picking up 1 off of each pile 56 times. Everyone got the same group of fabrics. Sorry for the long explanation! I am long-winded I guess.
