I'm figuring 2.5 yds. You will get 3 across 42 inches of fabric and need 9" down so that is 10 strips 9" deep. 90" of fabric is 2.5 yds. That doesn't seem too clear. I guess that's why I am a nurse and not a teacher. lol

You will need 2.5 yards if you cut 9" wide strips and then cut the strips down to your 9" x 13" blocks, that would yield 3 blocks per strip. That doesn't leave room to make sure the grain is straight so if you can afford it I would do 2.75 or even 3 yards if you really like the fabric.
