I guess you could say add a border I'm wanting to add fabic that is the same color of the muslin in order to make the embroidered blocks larger.
OK .... why the same color as the muslin? It may end up NOT being the same color if it is washed, unless taken from the same piece of muslin.. Why not add fabric to compliment the other blocks?

IMHO, I would "enlarge" the embroidered blocks by a technique of choice, and then add the thin interfacing as suggested by smitty. Only then would I proceed with piecing the blocks into a quilt.
