FINISHING:
With wrong sides of 2 blocks together, join E in any corner ch-1 space, working through double thickness, and through back loops only, sc in each st across one side blocks to next corner, do not finish off. Pick up two more blocks and repeat 7 times. Fasten off. Building upon these two rows, continue adding blocks so that you have 9 rows of 7 blocks. Fasten off at the end of each 7-block row. Twist and stuff tails into cone holes, then with yarn needle and D, weave a short piece around edge of each cone hole, gather tightly and sew opening closed, weave in end (this will allow tails to keep cone somewhat firm, and hides tails completely).
