This is what I do as well. As far as spray basting I go center out all along the quilt - backing to batting then batting to quilt top. Just found that working center out whether stitching or layering works best for me.
As far as your poofy blocks and sashing have you tired steam 'pressing'
it. Sometimes it helps mine. Love your colors and the quilt design is great. Good luck and have fun!
