I've started opening mine at random, and making Arkansas Crossroads blocks out of them. Here's the first envelope I pulled out of the bag ... Crispy_Frog! 
Thanks so much for the colorful candies and the extra goodies! (I didn't put the extra goodies in the photo so as not to spoil the surprise for the other birthday girls.) The bottom right corner of the square is straight, but it's hanging off my desk a bit, so it looks wonky.

Made from the candies Onaemtnest sent. (Thanks for the extra goodies!) Not sure if I'll have time to do another one tonight. It may be Monday evening. Busy weekend ahead!

Moonrise....your blocks look wonderful! I love that pattern and made one last year with Sewbizgirl leading the way!
Really love the idea of making blocks right out of the envelope! So looking forward to October...(promise not to wish the summer away)

JuanitaBean you should have b-day candies from me, sent the same day as the rest of them and the other b-day ladies have received. No candies in the mail today
Love the crossroads blocks, what a good idea to use everyone's candies in separate blocks.

Aw, thanks, y'all! I made the Arkansas Crossroads in the previous swap, too, but I used fabric with a "Frozen" theme rather than my swap candies.
I did manage to squeeze in one more tonight, from JaneQuilter. Thanks, Jane, for the pretty candies! And now I gotta scoot. DH will be home from work shortly, and I haven't even taken a shower today! LOL!

I used Kona white charm squares to make the Xs (cut down to 4-1/2").
