I'm not the hostess of this swap. However, I think you can end up with duplicates no matter whether you've swapped them before. Generally speaking, I buy at least a yard of any I spy fabric as that is the minimum cut at lots of places, both online and at warehouse type places. (It also takes a yard to participate in an ABC swap.) So, I swap the same fabric again all the time. (See reply #11 on this thread.)
I think you are more likely to get duplicates because several different swappers recently bought their fabrics from JoAnns and Hobby Lobby than older fabrics that have been swapped before.
JMHO, Rena may have a different take on it.
