Best Answer

Measure in inches the width of the fabric. This will usually be 36", 54" or 72" but may be something different. Ignore any surplus beyond a multiple of 6 as this portion won't enable you to create a 6" square. Call the width W.

The total area of the fabric is W x 36 (as the length is 1 yard = 3 ft = 36")

The area of each 6" square is 36 sq in.

Then divide W x 36 by 36 to get the number of squares - and this results in W.

In other words if the fabric is 82" long - we can only use 78" for making squares then you can cut out 78 squares.
