The price is for a 1/4 metre (Approx 10 inches) of fabric. Multiple purchases will be cut in one continuous length (e.g. a quantity of 5 meaning 5 x 1/4 m = 1.25 metres, which would be cut and sent as a 1.25 metre piece). Quarter meters will be cut as Fat Quarters, unless stated in the notes at checkout that a long quarter is desired.
