Sew 3.5" x 72" strips to each side of your medallion quilt. Press seams, lightly starch, and then press the whole top one more time.

Stay stitch around your entire quilt (sew 1/8" from the outer edge) to keep it in good shape until you get it basted and quilted.

The medallion quilt should measure 72" square.
