I 'm sorry I have another question

You should need 5 4" strips and 2 3" strips to get the amount of squares in the sizes you need.
That's 26" worth of strips.
44/4=11 four in. squares per strip
44/3=14 three in. squares per strip
You should have about 10" of fabric left over give or take depending on how much you use squaring up.
Hope this helps.

5 rows of gives 10 (to 11) 4x4 each row = 50 4x4 (20" of the fabric)
1 row w/2 4x4 & 12 3x3 (4" of the fabric)
That uses 24" of the fabric leaving 12" - plenty for remaining 3x3.
Hope I've figured this right - all you experts please correct me if I'm wrong. :?:
Have a blessed day & may all your quilts be filled w/love

Many fabrics are narrower than 45 inches -
In fact, some are barely 42 inches wide -
And, if you wash fabric before cutting, you may lose some more width.
But back to your original question - yes, you can get all those out of one yard of even the narrower fabric.
