Since this is a kid's print you have more leeway. I'd say just sew the blocks together and applique the panel - no worries about the points. As long as you cut them all off, call it a design choice. You could also sew a button to match the top on each missing point. It would be a feature and nobody - even you, would notice any missing points.

Dumb question I know, but don't you just hate it when you ruin a perfectly good piece of fabric?
So is the kid you're making this quilt for going to reject it? Is it for a boy? Do you really think a *male* child will even notice? Just finish it.

I just found this quote that I think applies here.

At the end of the day, the quilts you leave your children and grandchildren will not be appreciated because all the points in your quilt lined up, but appreciated because you were the one who made them! -Author Unknown

Aww, I love it! Thank you for finding that for me!

I'd find a matching yellow fabric and add little yellow triangles to the top and botton corners of all the blocks. It's going to be so cute!
