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, Sherryl Candlequilter |

I have made one Hunter's Star quilt. I used the Rapid Fire Hunter's Star ruler and it was the best. You may want to look into it. I got mine at my LQS. Here is what my finished quilt looked like.

I made a scrappy hunter's star with about 45 fabrics, some 1/4 yards, some half yard pieces. The pattern/special ruler had a lot of waste.
