This linen is a lovely Zweigart-base (evidenced by that ORANGE selvedge stripe!) A fat quarter is approximately 18 by 29 1/2 inches. If you purchase TWO, you will get a fat half, which is approximately 29 1/2 by 36 inches. If you buy FOUR, you will get a full yard (approximately 36 by 59 inches.) This has a gently hand-dyed look to it -- some subtle mottling is evident.
