These are from Ibex94 and TravelingGramma! Wait a minute! Didn't Ibex just mention above she mailed it today? We are both in Texas, but at opposite ends. That was fast!
Thanks to all so far!

Hey all, I had a few minutes to catch up with your lists of received packages this morning and it is looking good.
Off to help set up for my grandson's grad party in a few minutes. Then party for a few hours and start my journey home. A very pleasant time with family I don't see too often for the past two days. We all gathered at one home to watch the lived streamed graduation and ate and laughed and told stories about when we graduated. Fun for all. These events are special but I am ready for a regular day back in the sewing room and in my own bed tonight!
"See " everyone tomorrow.

Good morning all, I just stumbled on this site a few minutes ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uh1xr0c0WV8 It makes use of 2.5 STRIPS. Bet we have some of those too. I don't cut my odd strips from jelly rolls or fabric trimmings into 2.5 squares any longer, thus allowing me to use them in other patterns or cut them up into 2.5's as needed. Not to worry I have piles of 2.5's.
.
Here is the latest version of my Christmas Cross. A good example of why I save 2.5 strips. The cross is made of two 2.5's and one 6.5 strip, although the cross can be made of all 2.5's.

Crispy_frog, thanks for the update. Appreciated.
Note to all, if your name is not appearing on a swapper's list, please double check that 1) you sent a package, 2) message the birthday gal with your info, description of the package etc. 3). keep your post office receipt if you sent from your post office as assurance that you sent the package.
I will send reminders to those swappers whose name is not appearing on our June birthday list.
