2-1/2" hst. Oops, it looks like I have a full bucket! I guess it's ok to have two bucket lists?
Thanks for posting your quilt.
Thanks
sunrise. Yes the large checkerboard has 2 1/2" squares and the small checkerboard 1 1/2" squares.
The star points on both blocks are flying geese blocks. I cut sky triangles (HST) from EZ Angle ruler using a 2 1/2" cut of fabric 13" long. Goose triangles from the EZ Companion ruler also using 2 1/2" cut 24" long to yield 4 triangles
and 4 corner squares. Those leftover 2 1/2" binding strips come in handy. Center square is 4 1/2".

You need 71 large checkerboards; 50 Evening star blocks; and 22 checkerboard star blocks.
So start sorting 2 1/2" and a few 1 1/2" strips into lights and darks....
