if you half a fq you would get either 18 x 11 or 9 x 22. to get 9 x 11 that sounds like 4ths of a fq.
a fq is generally 18 x 22. if you cut from the 22" side that would give you two pieces at 18" x 11". if you cut from the 18" side, you end up with two pieces 9" x 22". i hope the pic below helps.
as an fyi, you may not get eight f8's from a yard of fabric. typically you will get six. the reason is that once you cut off the selvages, you will typically end up with 40"-42" of fabric not 44"-45". remember to take these measurements in account when buying your focus fabric so that you can buy enough of it for your blocks and any borders or sashing you plan to do.

i google a Fat 8th and it says the size is 9 by 11, which makes sense half of a FQ.
the rules post says to send Fat 8ths but then in another section it says the size is 18 by 11.
