This is an evenweave fabric, not linen -- great for stitching over-one and easy to see. Purchase one, and get a fat quarter (18 by 27 inches, approximately); Purchase two for a fat half (27 by 36, approximately). For a full yard, purchase FOUR (55 by 36, approximately). IF YOU PURCHASE THREE -- you are not getting a fat 2/3's. You will get a fat half and a fat quarter.
