I've got some figures put together, to figure out how much fabric I need for sashings. Anybody better at math want to review my #'s?

I have 12 blocks, will be 4 across and 3 down
Each block is 12.5"
I want sashing to be 2" (cut @ 2.5")

My figures:
I need 2 horizontal strips, each 57.5"
I need 9 vertical strips, each 12.5"

If my fabric is 40" wide, I would need 3 for the horizontal strips. How many would I need for the vertical sashes? Just 1? Would I need about a 1/2 yard of fabric?

Thanks!
