You can get 6 of each with a good piece left.
Cut 7.5" x 22" off one side and subcut to 6 pieces 3.5"x7.5". (6x3.5=21" - you will have at least 1" left over at the bottom.)
You have 10.5"x22" remaining. Cut two pieces that are 7.5x10.5, subcut each into 3 pieces that are 3.5x7.5.
You will have 7"x10.5" remaining. You could make more of one type of block with these, and if your FQs happen to be 22.5" instead of 22", you could make more of either type.

At first I found your comment unusual and then I remembered...... I have NEVER had a fat quarter not be a fat quarter until..... 1 time (and the last time!) I bought a dozen fat quarters at Joann's and none of them were 18x22. They were all short! I have been quilting since the 80's and have literally bought all of my fabric at quilt stores. After being on QB for awhile, I thought I would try "chain store" fabric because people talked about it so much. Boy I will never do that again! To each his own but there is no comparison in quality. Besides, even though it may be a bit more expensive I would rather support the small business owner any day. Just my humble opinion.
