What if you rethink the pattern? Make it look like a brick wall, offsetting the blocks so that they don't intersect at the corners. Just pin a couple of rows together to see if you like it. These are called design decisions by the quilter. lol
Edited to add: You will have to cut the end block in half on the alternating rows and sew it to the other end. You could lose 1/4" by this extra sewing line, but that won't be a big deal.
Quilting is about having fun, creating something that is yours and enjoying yourself.
Have quilting! Barb
