It is a rectangular quilt so you need to find the perimeter which is 96+96 (for the two lengths) + 72+72(for the two widths) = 336 which is the edge around the quilt.

Lisa needs a total of 336 inches of trim to sew around her quilt. This is calculated by determining the perimeter of the quilt using the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle. By adding the length and width, we find the total trim length required.
