My LOF ones are NOT too long, they're too short (Each piece of fabric was a yard long)! CRAPCRAPCRAP!
Where's a dammit doll when you need one...
Back to the drawing cutting board...
If the 44" strips are subcut into smaller lengths, it may not matter that the LOF strips are 36".
If it does matter and you want all the strips to be 44" long, then what I would do is piece the strips and cut them to 44". I would piece on the diagonal since diagonal joins are less visible than straight-across joins.
Over the years quilters have come up with ingenious ways to "make it work". It's part of quilting!
