The beginnings of the sort out...

Just an update to say that I have preferences from everyone now, and am beginning to sort out the swap.  This round is going to pose some problems I've not had previously - due, I think, to the size of the swap.  There are a lot of quilts with only a few votes, and far more with only one vote than we've ever had in the past. In fact, even the most popular quilts only have about the same number of votes they've had in the previous rounds, despite many more people voting, so  I do think this is just due to the maths involved - in previous rounds we've had 30-35 quilts and everyone put 10-12 on their lists (on average). This round, people have still put 10-12 on their lists, but there are almost double the number of quilts.   I know this is going to cause a few problems, though I do have some thoughts about how to work around it.  Stay posted - if you are affected I will contact you by email, but just a heads up to say that things might be a little more complicated this time around!
