I totally agree. By doing one block at a time, you still have the accent on the squares. But by doing a large flower or feather inside each block, the curves will soften it.
What ever you decide, make sure you practise it on some small practise quilt sandwiches to get the feel and the rhythm of the free motion.
You might find a big loopy flower a lot easier to do than feathers if you are starting out.
