DustysMomma I don't see your name on the list and it should be; odd numbers can play just as easily as evens - here's your example so there will be no excuses.
Player A
Player B
Player C
Results - Player C makes for Player B
Player B makes for Player A
Player A makes for Player C
Glad we got that all straightened out - see on you in the lineup
Having a girls outing today - shopping for non-quilty items - however a quilt shop in the town we're traveling to is having 60% off Pfaff sewing machine feet sale (in stock only) - I don't own a Pfaff but some of their machine feet fit my Singer Quantum L500 - has to do with the DFS - duel feed system - might have to check to see if there is a stitch in the ditch foot. After shopping we are having lunch at the historical Hubble House in Mantorville - they have a great lunch menu. You all have a wonderful day - can't wait to see who my partner is and what holiday I'm going to be making something for.

Dabbler, don't worry, I'll be in, lol. Jaba said she'd be my partner if we were "even" at the end. 
I owe her & Elisabrat some licorice & embroidery anyway. I tried doing groups instead of pairs on the 1st swap & some people ended up upset because they were ready to ship & others were weeks out & others ended up MIA, so I'm back to pairs. I didn't ask for the address with the sign up to ensure you had to talk to your partner at some point too.
I have the preliminary list made. Just waiting to see if we get any other signups. If you're going shopping for materials today, I hope you have a smartphone or aren't going to early! I'll post the list here first in about 2 hrs, then I'll email everyone with their partner's information.
Everyone ready to play?

I'm ready, just waiting on you 
Never figured it out like that Dabbler, makes perfect sense. Pair up partners and then the last 3 do like you explained. Have to remember that...

Jaba, that's kinda how I did the 1st swap. I sorted everyone by room that time & then rotated all the names down one person & the last on the list went to the first on the list. This time, I put numbers 1-5 on a list twice, then had Excel make random numbers beside it, sorted by the random numbers to randomize the list, then copied the randomized 1-5 on the signup list. The people who both had 1 are partners, then the 2's are partners & right down the line. There's a ton of ways to do the partnering. Just gotta figure out what you find the easiest to remember what you did! Since we have some new players this time, hopefully everyone will get new partners!
Well I'm off to finish piecing my runner for Elisabrat's fall runner swap. Back in an hr or so!
