This linen is a lovely Zweigart-base (evidenced by that ORANGE selvedge stripe!) A fat quarter is approximately 18 by 27 inches. If you purchase TWO, you will get a fat half, which is approximately 27 by 36 inches. If you buy FOUR, you will get a full yard (approximately 36 by 55 inches.) This has a gently hand-dyed look to it -- some subtle mottling is evident.
