Here's a photo from quilting.about.com, which illustrates it beautifully.
BEWARE, buying FQs is addictive! You grab one here, you grab one there, and the next thing you know, you've got $80 worth of fabric in your cart, with no real plans to use them! The worst places for this problem are the stores like JoAnn, where they have different fabric for the FQ than for the yardage. Always keep in mind that buying buy the yard is a better price per yard.
Check out fabric . com (there's a button on the right) for a really wide variety of beautiful fabric. There is a special of the day and a lot of pre-cuts. What I like about it is that it's affiliated with Amazon so you can use your Amazon account to check out, saving me the step of wandering around the house looking for my purse, hoping that my credit card is actually in there an not left on some countertop from the last time I ordered something online. Go Amazon!
DON'T FORGET, comments get you entries into the charm pack give away!
