Agree! ... I think this one you really do need to do non-FMQing!
My suggestion would be to give yourself some guide chalklines.
What I am meaning is to put lines, evenly spaced across the quilt.
How far? Everyone will have a best personal width. Experiment what width works best for you!
The lines will give you guidance to be relatively consistent in the height of the wave.
With that, your wave lines will end up being somewhat straight across the width of your quilt.
