We extend the notion of star unfolding to be based on a quasigeodesic loop Q rather than on a point. This gives a new general method to unfold the surface of any convex polyhedron ℘ to a simple (nonoverlapping) planar polygon: cut along one shortest path from each vertex of ℘ to Q, and cut all but one segment of Q.
