Oh WOW!! I was going to use a iron on interfacing as the blocks are really thin, kind of like a fine hanky, they are not real white white, they are more off white so i don't want to try and match that. ..would unbleached muslin work for the back of the blocks?

Please do not use an iron on interfacing on the back of the blocks. It will not lay flat because of the embroidery process. Another idea, if the embroidered blocks are 'thin' is to use a second layer of fabric behind them and treat the two layers as one in your construction. The quilting process will hold them together so it won't be obvious that there are two layers. Please show us your quilt in process or when finished. You are doing a great thing.
