Is your machine sewing backwards ( bottom to top) when this happens? The thread may be catching on something, perhaps the needle plate or bobbin. If so, I would have a machine tech look into it.

Just a quick stab at this. Try figuring using 2" and 3" strips would make it larger, includes seam allowances.
That should add 1/2" to every row, or 11" per block.

The only other issue I have is to make certain the batting is not bunching up anywhere, or your quilt will be lumpy.

Perhaps you could try pressing your seams open, you would not see darker fabrics through the lights, and it would help with bulk when joining with other seams.
