OK.. here's a really different suggestion.. at least for a bit of information to tuck away for later if nothing else.
When you are doing a machine stitched (especially) quilt you can also press seams open. It cuts down on bulk at intersections and the seams lay so very nice and flat. (also makes it a little easier to "fudge" seams a little if needed..don't ask how I know <wink>). That is going to be a lovely quilt and I know she will cherish it for years to come.

When I need to get an intersection to lie flat, I use a seam ripper to take out just a few stitches in the seam. This gets rid of any twist and allows the intersection to lie flat. Usually it's two seams at the intersection that need this treatment. A little experimentation will teach you which ones.

this is only one of many reasons that i press my seams open whenever possible. another being that when quilting, the needle doesn't "jerk" when it hits that bump of a doubled-up, folded-over seam. the only time i ever press to the side is for SITD, and i hardly ever do that, much preferring a 1/4" inside quilting line.

I agree with Alwaysquilting. Try not to let it happen, but it does occassionally. Tiny little snip right next to the seam that needs to go the other way, but not into the intersecting seam

I don't know the answer to your problem, just wanted to tell you how much I like what you have so far.
