I just finished making a full size hunters star in 2 colors. I used 2 yards of each color. But my block size was 24", (so each individual block was 12" to make up my total 24" block). I also did it strip piecing not paper piecing. Paper piecing patterns definitely takes alot more fabric. My quilt top is 70 x 80. By making my blocks bigger I saved alot of time and fabric. I had alot less seams that take up alot of fabric. So this should give you alot to think about before you start your top.
Good luck,
