What is the formula for calculating that.
It's simple division. 44 divided by 12, or 44 divided by 2, whichever fits best. 12 does not go evenly into 44, you will have quite a chunk of fabric left over. 44 divided by 2 is 22, you can cut 22 strips that are 12 inches long. Then you will need to cut 6 more strips to equal 28.
Hope this helps.
eta: whoops Prism beat me to it, although she took a different route, lol.
