I guess you can make a mini one from that size of a strip. Check out this tutorial from MSQC:

Also check out Kaye Wood's "Stacking my Blocks".
Go to the pictures section. At the top is Cat-on-a-mac's sticky of different quilt types. Tumbling Blocks is quite a way down but there are lots of pictures of tumbling blocks there. I made mine with 3 in. strips for the center triangles and 1.5 strips for the surrounds. Kaye said you can make hers with 2 inch or 3 inch strips as you wish, so 2.5 will surely work.
I love your Hunter's Star. That one is on my bucket list.
