Default Diamond lattice trouble

I am attempting to sew a diamond lattice quilt like this: http://www.lindafranz.com/blog/jane-austen-quilt/

I have made numerous attempts over the past year, trying some versions with little diamonds in each corner of the lattice, some without the diamond corners. I have tried every logical way I can think of to sew this diamond lattice, have used 45 degree diamonds as well as 60 degree diamonds in case that made a difference.

No matter what I do, how much I measure, pin etc etc, I get lots of bunching and wobbling along the lattice. It's just too much for my taste as it looks like careless sewing.

Is there a technique that I might not have encountered online or thought of myself to get this lattice to lie flat?

Thank you for any ideas!
