You should need 5 4" strips and 2 3" strips to get the amount of squares in the sizes you need.
That's 26" worth of strips. 44/4=11 four in. squares per strip 44/3=14 three in. squares per strip You should have about 10" of fabric left over give or take depending on how much you use squaring up. Hope this helps. |
Oh thank you sooooo much!!! I am making a 9 patch in a block now I just have to figure the triangles size. Thanks for your help monie

Easily out of a yard. It would take a minimum of 3/4 yard so you're fine with that.

5 rows of gives 10 (to 11) 4x4 each row = 50 4x4 (20" of the fabric) 1 row w/2 4x4 & 12 3x3 (4" of the fabric) That uses 24" of the fabric leaving 12" - plenty for remaining 3x3. Hope I've figured this right - all you experts please correct me if I'm wrong. :?: Have a blessed day & may all your quilts be filled w/love |

Many fabrics are narrower than 45 inches -
In fact, some are barely 42 inches wide - And, if you wash fabric before cutting, you may lose some more width. But back to your original question - yes, you can get all those out of one yard of even the narrower fabric. |
