Just to clarify, do we send each of our 4 partners 5 different or same squares?

You can give each partner the same fabric. Thanks for the question.

I shopped for my fabrics yesterday as I don't have a bunch of Asian prints in my stash. OMGoodness I found the most beautiful prints. I only bough 6 inches (strip) of each and it was $12, super inexpensive swap! I have lots left over too! Can't wait to get my swaps and then make a beautiful table runner!

Ok. I have to admit. I'm extremely confused now... Under the comments I read it to be that we send 5 of the same patterened squares to each partner. And above it mentions that 1/2 yard of fabric will give 24 5" squares and we get 4 of those to keep for ourselves. I had a hard time finding 1 Asian / Chinese print and did like it mentions above and bought 1/2 yard and cut in into the 24 blocks and mailed off 20 to my partners... Was I supposed to send 5 different fabrics to each partner? Or was the 5 blocks all the same ok?...
