It took me 5.5...plus a little extra for mistakes :)
my fabric shrunk a bit so it was not 44" WOF. Therefore I only cut 2 from WOF @ 18".
TO BEGIN:
I went 11" up the selvedge edge 18 times which equals 198" then divide that by 36" (yard) and it equals 5.5 yards.
Those were then 11" wide by WOF and I cut them in half then into 18" length. Which left me with a scrap of 11" x about 5"from each of those 18 pieces.
There may be an easier way to do it but this is what worked for me...plus like i said I did not have 44" WOF after washing and April suggested an 18" x 11" F8
