First of all you would do yourself a great big favor by going to the local quilt store (not the big box store) and ask for an opinion. We all need to do that from time to time!. One question I have is this: did you sew all of your rows from the same direction? If so, you will get sort of puffiness in the batting. It is important to start the quilting process in the middle of the quilt to help distribute fullness. Perhaps you will not be faced with taking out what you have done but you might need to rethink taking out some of the basting and realigning it. Please be open to suggestion. If you keep going as you are doing you will intensify the developing problem. I wish you the best as you begin your quilting journey.
