Well, no. Not exactly.
There are 40 sets involved - with 3 different fabrics coming from each set. There are 120 squares in each "set"
So there will be 120 different (probably - possibly a few duplicates) fabrics in the swap. (120 x 40 = 4800 squares in the swap)
If one sends in two sets - one will get 240 squares back, (two sets), but both sets will have the same 120 squares in them.
If I send in two sets (six different fabrics) - I will get back two each of the six fabrics I sent in, and two each of the other 114 fabrics that were sent in, for a total of 240 squares back. (12 of my squares plus 228 squares of the other fabrics)
Clear as mud?
