There is no way of answering this question. Felony sentences are commensurate with the TYPE of felony offense you committed. A violent offense against a person will invariably have a more lengthy sentence attached to it, than a non-violent offense against property might. What the perpetrators past criminal record (if any) may be also comes into play as well.
It depends entirely on what you were charged with - NOT - what sentence the judge imposed. If the statute written by the legislature calls for a sentence of MORE THAN one year it is, by definition, a felony. The judge, at his discretion, can sentence persons convicted of felony-class crimes to serve less than the minimum sentence, however, the offender remains a convicted felon nonetheless.
