A linear inch is a measurement of straight line (linear = line) , So for a quilt it is the measurement all around the outside of the quilt.
If your quilt is 54 x 60, then the linear inch measurement is: 54 + 54 + 60 + 60 = 228 linear inches.
as opposed to square inches which would be 54 x 60 = 3240 square inches, which many LA's use to calculate the # of stitches for pricing.
