I recently found post on the website of Fat Quarter Shop that I find invaluable. Fat Quarter Shop (link provided) has broken down the measurements and descriptions of each method for buying fabric. Also posted further down on the page is a bedding measurement guide and a glossary for all of the basic terminology in quilting and quilting fabric.
Check it out! 
I hope you find it as useful as I have.
Hi There! I am so excited to begin this journey of sharing my passion of sewing and crafting with you. I am a small town girl from Oklahoma, who move to Fort Worth 4 years ago. I am a wife and a mother of 2 amazing little boys. I hope you find my post insightful, delightful, but most importantly find some joy and humor through them. I look forward to meeting new people, hearing your stories, and sharing your passions as well.
