I like what I call "assembly line" sewing, taking one block or portion of block and sewing through the whole pile..I will add the 6 1/2 stashing to each block on both sides, then add the cornerstone (to the strip, doing a selage to selage cut of 6 1/2 inches plus the cornernerstone width sewn on the stashing for top and bottom cut) on the tops and bottoms of each block as I add them to the right position on the layout. much like one does with borders on a quilt.
Yes, I would love to see the first corner of everyone's work...on point or square. I love the stasing colors I have seen, and all pretty blocks are going to be wonderful in quilts.
