Yes, a picture would be nice to know what the finished project looks like
You start with 1 yard of fabric - 36" x 42". Fold in quarters and trim down to 18x21" (make sure you trim on the unfolded edges. Then, after the cuts, the total length is 9" + 24" + 9" = 42"(unfolded). In the folded case, you have a 9x9" square upper right, 9x12" rectangle below it. 9x9 upper left (with a fold), and 9x12 lower left (which unfolds to 18x24).
