QAYG Selvage Block

I made a selvage block a little while ago. You can see it here: Some Selvage Fun
I wanted to make some more. I guess this is also called a String Block?
Anyway - here's how I made these.

Partial Seams

I have long wondered if this could be done and today I found a way to do it! Here's a good tutorial on How to Sew Quilt Blocks with Partial Seams. It's so simple! And quick too apparently. Can't wait to try this.

Star Block Tutorials

I've been wanting to make stars for a while now and even though I haven't begun to quilt here in Toronto yet I thought I should be prepared for that wonderful day! :) So here are some links I found for start blocks.

1. Cluck Cluck Sew has an easy tutorial for  a basic star block. 
2. Lee has a Ribbon Star Block Tutorial at Freshly Pieced. This one looks complicated but I think it should be manageable if you follow the steps. 
3. Fresh Lemon Quilts actually has a series of star tutorials on right now! The Solstice Stars Series has some very cool stars that I hope to make at some point. Can't join in right now unfortunately. If you can you should. Looks like a great series. 
4. The Silly Boo Dilly has a Wonky Star Tutorial which looks quite simple to make. I must admit I really do like wonky blocks. 
5. Jennifer's Star Flower Block Tutorial on Sew We Quilt. I really like that this star is so colorful.
6. Thought and Found had a quilt-along called Oh My Stars! that has some nice saw toothed start tutorials.
