I'm very good at math. Not bragging, it is what it is. The +1/2" is to make the finished measurements back to the unfinished cut size (outside seam allowances where the binding goes).

There aren't any seams to make (ie piecing the border) if cut all in one piece (length of fabric). Or you can piece it then cut the length, you don't need to figure the seams. Note: when I need to piece borders, I try to match the pattern and seam on the diaganol to minimize the appearance of the seam.
