Thanks for all the help so far, I am really enjoying reading here! :mrgreen:
I do believe the fabric width listed does include the salvage...I always take 2 inches off when I'm figuring...I'm saving selvages for a selvage quilt so I do cut them 1" from the edge.
I would just figure that a yard of fabric gives me a square yard with a little left over for oops or stash. Otherwise, to be precise I would convert to square inches, then back to square yards. It's a PITA and so that's why I have my LQS owner do all the math for me!!!
