I've kept a list of preferences so far so I could either post that or send it to you MizMelly.

MizMelly-Just realized you can only attach files with the following file extensions bmp, doc gif jpe jpeg jpg pdf png. That is why you can’t attach an excel file.

Ah, that is why it doesn't work! Well, if folks want the spreadsheet, they can PM me and I'll email it to them on their personal email account. We just won't do it on the quilting board.

I have made one already. I'll look tomorrow to see if I have it on a thumb drive or if it is on my office PC. I know it is a Word. doc chart. Will check in the AM.

Birthday color preferences. That is an interesting twist to the swap. That does make it more thoughtful. And I suppose it would be optional as well?

As I am cutting from new fabrics, I am making sure to put them in a box marked "New" so that I send the return swappers new squares and not repeat squares.

The suggestion of sending people candies in their color preference is ambitious... It might be prohibitive for people with modest stashes of fabric, or people who don't want to go shopping for more fabric. As it is now, with 50 different fabrics that is quite a big selection of fabrics. If we start making individualized 50-fabric sets per participant-- can you imagine the hundreds of fabrics that would be needed for that?! It would be sweet, but doesn't seem practical.

I feel I started this way back in January with a silly comment. I agree with GIVIO that it may be problematic to "tailor" our envelops to folks wishes. I just finished my sets of 50 and would not want to reorganize my little packages in 30+ different ways. That said, If folks express an "I just love_____. I might swap out a square or two but that is all. I think we need to hear from our fantastic fearless leader with how to keep this fun and not burdensome to any one. Our swap has worked so well for so long, I do not want to jeopardize the fun of giving and receiving all of those wonderful little surprises on our birthdays.

I am sure all of my hometown heard me cheering early this evening. All squares cut. Now, bag them, squish them and put them away!
