Good for you! I have those genes, also.
Those blocks are never going to lay flat! I would cut some sashing as long as the center of the block, the way we cut our border fabric. Then sew the sashing on, scrunching in the fabric to fit, (as in ruffling it? ? ?) Then your quilting will go right over these tucks and I'll bet that would look really cool. Add as many squares as you have, and people will ask you how you did that.
