Kristi, I am not the maker of this quilt, but i would cut the embroidery squares a few inches larger than the pattern requires, transfer the embroidery design onto the block with the fabric on point, and then trim the square when embroidery is complete. I find doing embroidery “shrinks” the blocks a bit. And i fuse a very light interfacing to the back of my fabric first- helps hide any stray embroidery thread tails....
