Your in poor shape when you need us to give welding advice.
I'd tack the corners first but stay off the corner. Tack on the 2 side of 1, 4 side of 3 and 6 side of 5. Then start at 7 and weld to 1. By tacking off to the side of the corner you avoid welding into the tack and the risk of a slag inclusion. Now grind out the tack at 1 and the end of the first eld and weld from 1 over to 2. Clean up again and continue.
I don't stick weld much anymore, but I'd try 7018 but the next size down from 1/8 and keep the current above what they recommend.

Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.
