the ladies suggested that you cut your batting square larger than your 4.5" 'DJ' block. then you can hand quilt the block to the batting (no backing at this point)
when you're ready to, you can sash your blocks together and slip stitch the batting together at the back to keep all the batting flat.
eventually you add your backing, and at this point the only quilting the backing will need is to 'SITD' down the sashing's.
(did i get it right ladies??) lol
