These are Mom's 24 - 1/2 yard pieces. That's 12 colors in a bright and a lighter version.
After we got our 12 yards dyed, we tried a few pieces on the table, squirting dye onto the fabric. Here are Mom's:

Will I do it again?
You bet.
Stay tuned, I have a few more pieces in the last of the mixed up dye.
Washing day is tomorrow.
