So far from this picture, your points in the blocks look great!
So finish the square part. If you already have the blocks made you are in great shape. Connect with the sashing in rows (vertically - yes, I know it's on point. Figure out which is vertical!) Then.... figure out the setting triangles. Cut a square that equals the length of finished block plus 1 1/4". You can cut them bigger too and have the option of "floating" it before the borders. Cut that square on both diagonals. Attach to ends of rows. Then horizontal sashing goes on. Do all the tops - or all the bottoms. Mark, mark, mark - to connect one row to another precisely. I usually do the top and bottom halves separately so I have two big triangles to sew to together to complete the top. When you've gotten that far, cut the corner triangles. Add 7/8" to the short edge of the corner sashing strip length. Or more if you decide to float it. Cut 2. Then cut on one diagonal. Attach.
I realize that you probably know all of this stuff but just can't get a move on with it. Do it or dump it? I'd hate to waste the time that I had invested especially since it already has a "home" and a purpose. It's your choice but I do like the colors a lot and think it's worth finishing. And if you won't finish it - give it to someone who will!
