French Braid question
 
Hello Everyone!
I need to make a French Braid that is 12" long. Width will be 3" (these are finished sized). If I use 2 1/2" square to start, then 2 1/2" wide strips to build the braid, can anyone tell me how many strips I might need to achieve the height I want? I don't have time to make one, and my brain is not cooperating tonight to draft it.

Any help appreciated! Thank you!

You'll need 10. (see diagram). The strips on the left need to be 4.5" long (the ones on the right can be 3).
