How Sweet It Is!
Well, Moda continues to “serve” us up some more pre-cut fabric goodies. Joining the platter of jelly rolls, layer cakes (now even bigger!), charm squares and fat quarters are two new fresh selections.
How about “Sweet rolls
Moda Marketing Guru, Lissa Alexander, tells all
Hi all,
I wanted to let you know of a few new things happening at Moda. We have made a change to all of the future Layer Cakes. Each pack is now going to have 42 squares for the price of 40. There will be 2 bonus squares in each pack. This will make it easy to make a 6 x 7 project --add some borders and be done!
The 2 extra squares will be a variety from the collection
And we have just introduced
smells like a jellyroll
works like a jelly roll
Except is an inch thinner
and a whole lotta' fun!
I like to say low cal. Who doesn't love that?
And, if that is not enough for your sewing pleasure, we have TurnoversTM. Turnovers are 6"squares cut in half diagonally to yield half square triangles.
Imagine all the possibilities combining the different precuts.
(Thanks to the creative minds that came up with this during the Moda U retreat- you know who you are!)
Turnovers are 6" squares cut into half square triangles and you can you use them with charm packs. We really wanted to be able to sew 2 triangles together so they would finish the same size as a charm square, however, we made them a big bigger, so they can be can be squared up to pair up with charm squares—for a perfect fit.
Turnovers and Sweet rolls will be available in selected collections. They will be debuting at Houston Quilt Market and arriving in stores beginning Jan. 2009

Lissa, you're brilliant. As we all know, women of a certain age don't need calories. This way we can have our cake and eat it too! Treats with no calories. What a concept!

Oh I particularly like the triangles! I don't like cutting, so this is perfect for me! Really great idea...
Posted by: Alissa | September 17, 2008 11:41 PM
The triangles are such an awesome idea!
Posted by: Pikku-kettu | September 17, 2008 11:50 PM
Both of these are great ideas, and I especially like the triangles because I have a hard time cutting them accurately. With these, I'd only have to concentrate on sewing them together accurately!
Posted by: Nancy | September 18, 2008 12:19 AM
I love the pre-cut triangles!!! What a great idea...
Posted by: Aischa | September 18, 2008 12:24 AM
Oh my goodness - those turnovers (what a cute name!) are soo great! What a fun giveaway!
Posted by: Amber | September 18, 2008 12:45 AM
Great idea!
making it so easy to just whip up a quilt instead of taking the time to have to cut before sewing!
Congrats to whoever came up with the idea of turnovers! very clever! I have already thought of 3 different ideas using turnovers.
Oh Sweet rolls great idea too, as I love to make little quilts and these size strips are perfect for those.
thanks! For me this size is perfect.

Wow! These are great ideas! I especially love the Turnover idea! I have nerve damage in my arms so rotary cutting can be painful for me. Pre-cut fabric would be wonderful! I cannot wait for my quilt store to have these in stock!
Posted by: Heather aka MuddyPawPrints | September 18, 2008 1:54 AM
Oh, these look so wonderful! Fat free "sweet rolls" and "turnovers" - yummy!
Posted by: karlyb | September 18, 2008 2:51 AM
totally love the Sweet Rolls and Turnovers in particular! Love this way of selling collections and have been a charm square and jelly roll fan for ages! Go Moda!
Posted by: Kellie | September 18, 2008 3:02 AM
Great new products! The more you can sell precut, the better.
Posted by: Alice S | September 18, 2008 3:11 AM
Oh, those turnovers are inspired!!!
Posted by: Penny | September 18, 2008 3:50 AM
What great ideas! Can't wait to see them in my favorite fabric lines.
Posted by: Myra | September 18, 2008 4:07 AM
I especially like the triangles. It will give us a lot more options for using charms!
Posted by: Cindy | September 18, 2008 4:55 AM
I am getting hungry already!!
I would love any of these yummies!!
I am inspired to do my FIRST real quilt and cutting is my fear so this would help!
Posted by: Renee | September 18, 2008 5:01 AM
Wow, what will Moda think of next? I would have loved those turnovers for the pinwheel quilt I just made. And it is so nice that they are now selling 42 squares in the layer cakes. These are a great way to make up a quick gift quilt!
Posted by: Ginger | September 18, 2008 5:03 AM
Ohhh, I am obsessed with the charm packs and now I can hardly wait to add these to my list!! Thanks for sharing this exciting news!!
Posted by: Sarah Galbraith | September 18, 2008 5:05 AM
My triangle cutting would definitely NOT make anyone envious, so those turnovers are perfect!
Posted by: Jeannine | September 18, 2008 5:51 AM
less cutting, more sewing - that's my kind of fabric pack!
Posted by: tirane93 | September 18, 2008 6:04 AM
What brilliant ideas. I can't wait to get some sent here to Aus. I'm already thinking of all the great ways to use the turnovers and sweet rolls together!!Looks like the plastic card is going to be doing a bit of work with on-line ordering very soon. Love it!
Posted by: Karen | September 18, 2008 6:11 AM
I love triangles, but hate cutting them! Bring on the turnovers!
Posted by: Dana | September 18, 2008 6:25 AM
I love them all; and the bonus? NO CALORIES!!!
Posted by: LoriD | September 18, 2008 6:38 AM
I can't wait to see what creative things all of the designers come up with for these new shapes. They're sure to open up a whole new world of possibilities ...
Posted by: John | September 18, 2008 6:39 AM
I love these new packs. I love the time savings of a pre-cut kit combined with the flexibility of choosing your own fabric.
Posted by: Angela | September 18, 2008 6:44 AM
Love the Sweet Rolls; can't wait to see them!
Posted by: Brenda Mercado | September 18, 2008 6:45 AM
Love those triangles. They'll be really handy for moving projects along. Sweet :)
Posted by: 2hippos | September 18, 2008 6:48 AM
I think your sweet shop it wonderful. I have grandkids and love to make things for them. Someday I will be making doll quilts for my granddaughter and the sweet rolls will be perfect.
Posted by: ander | September 18, 2008 6:51 AM
Luscious! Looks good enough to gobble them up! *slurp* What a precious idea to have turnovers...see....I have a love-hate relationship with people that come up with these ideas....I love that they came up with it....but hate it that I didn't think of it first!
Posted by: Xina | September 18, 2008 6:51 AM
What a great idea!! I can see Moda marketing sweet rolls and turnovers in packages by themes: colors, holidays, bugs, fruits, flowers,sports and endless more. I think they would be especially good marketed to beginner quilters like teens who are just learning to use rotary cutters and may not be very accurate yet. Experienced quilters would save time choosing fabrics and cutting also! Fun for everyone!
Posted by: Marty | September 18, 2008 6:52 AM
I CAN'T wait for the sweet rolls!!!!! I have all sorts of patterns that will work for them, and how fun to be able to get a small simple project out of a whole collection.
Posted by: Amy | September 18, 2008 6:58 AM
Wow, what great ideas for more precut fabrics. I just love the charm squares and jelly rolls. I haven't been brave enough to purchase a layer cake yet but oh the temptation is growing. All of these precut bundles are so great for people like me that want a bit of an entire line of fabric.
Posted by: Anita | September 18, 2008 7:07 AM
These sweet rolls and turnovers are so clever! I already love the jelly rolls, so what a creative concept to keep going with the theme. I wish more stores in my area carried a better variety of all these.
Posted by: Terriaw | September 18, 2008 7:18 AM
They look great; I especially think the "turnovers" will be yummy!
Posted by: Anya | September 18, 2008 7:30 AM
Oooh too cute! I only just became acquainted with Jelly Rolls am quite excited to be using them for my next quilt! The Sweet Rolls would be perfect for matching pillows!! And precision triangles? I'm there!
Posted by: Paige R | September 18, 2008 7:47 AM
I love the charm packs and am hoping to find some layer cakes at our Creativ Festival next month. These ideas look fantastic -- turnovers and sweet rolls! Can you imagine a non-quilter listening to someone discussing jelly rolls, sweet rolls, turnovers and layer cakes? They'd probably think the quilters had serious serious sweet tooth problems! LOL
Posted by: Cathi | September 18, 2008 7:56 AM
I LOVE the idea of the turnovers and will definitely buy them to go with charm packs. I probably would not buy the sweet rolls because I like working with the bigger strips, but I love that Moda is always coming up with something new for us!
Posted by: Lisa D. | September 18, 2008 8:01 AM
O.K. I'm totally hungry now! mmmm. A Mary Engelbreit Cherry Turnover with Ice cream! LOL. What a great idea. Wish, Wish, Wish I was going to Fall Market. ooxx`jodi
Posted by: `jodi | September 18, 2008 8:09 AM
The new turnovers intrigue me -- I'm a fly-by-seat-of-pants quilter but I'm intrigued by triangles and can imagine the perfect baby quilt made with my first pack of Moda pre-cuts (as distinguished from the many fat quarter sets I have already).
Posted by: Daphne | September 18, 2008 8:17 AM
Love the turnover idea. It'll be fun combining a pack of those with a layer cake pack and playing with them on my design wall. Very clever, Moda!
Posted by: Phyl | September 18, 2008 8:44 AM
Lite?! They are sweet treats with no calories at all. What could be better?
Posted by: Zegi | September 18, 2008 8:48 AM
WOW! These are great! I love how innovative Moda is :)
Posted by: Amy @ parkcitygirl | September 18, 2008 8:52 AM
Turnovers & sweet rolls! Yummy!
Posted by: Maya | September 18, 2008 9:32 AM
What great ideas! I love the 42 squares idea...makes perfect sense...and the triangles sized just so they'll match with the charm pack squares...awesome. I love Moda!!!
Posted by: Sherri | September 18, 2008 9:45 AM
Wow. These are great! Think of the possiblities now. I would love to win one of these. Thank you for offering them. Take care and God bless, Cory
Posted by: Cory | September 18, 2008 9:51 AM
What SWEET TREATS!! Moda has done it again!!! I think my pocket book will be lean soon!! The turnovers are a great idea... and to make them so they will be perfect with charm squares... brilliant!!!
The sweet rolls are neat; I can't wait to work with one!
Posted by: Kim | September 18, 2008 10:09 AM
Turnovers? What a great concept! How come I never think of these things? ;)
Posted by: Valerie | September 18, 2008 10:18 AM
I really like the idea of the turnovers, and the new sweet rolls. Perfect for so many things.
Moda is so clever, and such a leader in innovation for us quilters.
Posted by: Vicki Chambers | September 18, 2008 10:23 AM
I love the idea of turnovers and that they will work charm packs. Great idea!
Posted by: Alicia S | September 18, 2008 10:37 AM
I love the idea of the turnovers!!
Posted by: Suzanne G | September 18, 2008 10:46 AM
Wow - I'm a new quilter and was inspired by these 'colorful houses' at http://blockaday.com/colourful-houses/ - I've started a small quilt with my sister's guidance using up some of her stash and the rotary cutter - BUT wow - I'd love to make a full-size quilt and in particular the turnovers would make it a breeze - can't wait - maybe they'll be my first personal stash purchase!!
Posted by: robin | September 18, 2008 11:17 AM
I love the turnovers! There is so much you can do with those triangles. Thanks for sharing!
Posted by: katie r | September 18, 2008 11:34 AM
Great ideas! Now we need some pies and cupcakes (circles precut)!
Posted by: Ellen | September 18, 2008 11:53 AM
I love the Sweet Rolls and can't wait for quilt market to score myself a couple. Plus good gravy, those triangles are genius.
Who doesn't love Moda????
Posted by: Pam | September 18, 2008 12:01 PM
I love the triangle ones. I'd love to use them!
Posted by: Karen | September 18, 2008 12:50 PM
Oh my goodness! What will they think of next to make our quilting life easier? I love the triangles. They are all awesome! And Moda,the best!
Posted by: Carrie P. | September 18, 2008 1:00 PM
Ok, I know that I don't NEED Turnovers and Sweet Rolls, but these things just make quilting so fun! Thanks, Moda!
Posted by: Kelli | September 18, 2008 1:07 PM
I love the jelly rolls, sweet rolls, turnovers, layer cakes ...all these sweets and it won't go to my hips! Thanks Moda!
Posted by: Dawn D. | September 18, 2008 1:52 PM
Hi,
wow, new precuts...I'm addicted to all other precuts Moda presented so far {well, of course this means I'm addicted to the fabric lines themselves!}...first because they're so much fun and second because I have a 'problem' to cut in big pieces of fabric...it just doesn't seem right *lol* - and without cutting there aren't any beautiful quilts...
I love the idea of precut triangles - and it's too clever they'll matching with Charm Squares as HSTs...
I wonder how long it takes before a pattern is published which includes ALL sorts of precut MODA fabrics....;o)
Posted by: Julia | September 18, 2008 1:59 PM
...oh, I forgot: those Sweet Rolls are just PERFECT for adapting JellyRoll patterns to smaller size quilts...ingenious!
Cheers, Julai
Posted by: Julia | September 18, 2008 2:01 PM
I absolutely L-O-V-E the turnovers! Being a beginner I'm a little wary of triangles, I'm always afriad I wont cut them just right! These are perfect for me!
Posted by: Renee | September 18, 2008 2:01 PM
I LOVE THOSE PRE-CUT FABRICS....A BOX OF CUPCAKES, OR JELLY ROLLS FROM THE LOCAL BAKERY WOULD MAKE THEM EVEN BETTER!!!!!
Posted by: Sheri | September 18, 2008 2:09 PM
Almost like Leggo's...lots of sizes guanteed to fit together!
Posted by: Carrie McW | September 18, 2008 2:20 PM
Look like a lot of fun, althought it might take me some time to figure out exactly what I would want to use them for.
Posted by: Nancy | September 18, 2008 2:37 PM
Oh I love this stuff!
Posted by: ashlee | September 18, 2008 2:37 PM
I think that I would buy anything called a sweetroll, or a turnover.
Posted by: Molly | September 18, 2008 2:48 PM
Great ideas! I love having so many options!
Posted by: Holly | September 18, 2008 3:02 PM
Fabulous! I just got back into quilting about 3 months ago and was amazed at the wonderful fabrics that are now available...and, getting them pre-cut is just icing on the cake! Thanks!
Posted by: Mimi | September 18, 2008 3:22 PM
I love the idea of triangles - I avoid sewing with them because I'm really bad at cutting them accuratly
Posted by: Anonymous | September 18, 2008 3:27 PM
These are all delicious! I especially love the Turnovers--let me skip over the tedious cutting and get right to sewing!
Posted by: SarahB | September 18, 2008 3:30 PM
Super cute and creative! Love the idea of the turnover and the sweet roll. What will they think of next! So clever!
Posted by: Tina | September 18, 2008 3:34 PM
Oh so sweet my teeth may ache!!!! And the best part....even if I am dieting I can still enjoy. I love that!!!! Good luck to all the sweet gals who are trying to win. I am keeping my fingers crossed and toes too!!! XXX Annie
Posted by: annie | September 18, 2008 3:44 PM
I love the turnovers as I hate cutting squares in half. I am currently working on my first jelly roll quilt and love that product also!
Posted by: Erin | September 18, 2008 3:47 PM
I am absolutely addicted to jelly rolls!!!! I am working my way through the book "Jelly Roll Quilts"--17 (!) projects and all from new Moda lines. Now I am looking forward to new patterns with Sweet Rolls!! Y'all are just too clever there at Moda and make too many fabrics that I just *have* to have :)
Posted by: Gretchen | September 18, 2008 4:11 PM
moda and jelly rolls, i just can't get enough! Love those new sweet rolls will be awesome.
Posted by: Kelli | September 18, 2008 4:16 PM
Wonderful idea....can't wait to get hold of some of the Turnovers.
Posted by: DBadia | September 18, 2008 4:24 PM

Posted by: Becky in Georgia | September 18, 2008 4:40 PM
I just love this idea and can't wait to give it a try!
Posted by: Patty D of NC | September 18, 2008 4:52 PM
Oh these fat free indulgences are just perfect for heading into the fall and winter months of sewing! I love to piece a quilt but hate to cut out, so you must have made these with me in mind!
Posted by: Chris | September 18, 2008 5:00 PM
Oh Wow. I love this idea. Moda marketing knows what it is doing. Thanks again Gina for my wonderful package. I've already used some and it just arrived! Love it.
Posted by: Nanette | September 18, 2008 5:10 PM
Oh. My. Stars. I just finished up my sixth charm pack quilt top, still have to get to my jelly roll, and now this? The Turnovers may get me doing triangles, lol! Love love love the new treats!

Posted by: Joni | September 18, 2008 5:49 PM
Awesome, I really like the turnovers, it's something different and great for some quilting projects I have in mind. :)
Posted by: Christina | September 18, 2008 5:50 PM
These are going to be so much fun to play with.
Posted by: Jodi | September 18, 2008 5:54 PM
WOW how fabulous are these Turnover's..I love the Idea of not cutting up 1/2 sq triangles & to have these with Charm Packs is Ideal..this blows me away such a Time Saver...very Clever.

Posted by: Barbara G | September 18, 2008 6:58 PM
What great ideas! I don't have as much time as I would like to sew (who does?!)
This helps me skip right to the good part!
Posted by: Melissa | September 18, 2008 7:05 PM
Not only are the fabrics pretty, but these new cuts make me even more hungry for them. *S*
I just finished a JR quilt, and I could have used a couple other sizes. Can't wait to try them.
Posted by: Sequana | September 18, 2008 7:40 PM
Oooh! You girls have been busy in the Moda kitchen baking up new goodies for us to crave! I just bought a flannel layer cake of Christmas fabrics and I love them!!! I need those turnovers though and LOTS of them! YUM-O : )
Posted by: Kim | September 18, 2008 7:44 PM
what a cool idea for the turnovers...
I made a bag with charm squares and it was so easy with no cutting except the lining...definately will be on the lookout for the triangles...
Posted by: Suze | September 18, 2008 7:47 PM
WOWEEE!! Love it all, bigger layer cakes, narrower strips in the sweet rolls and precut triangles! I can't wait to see some patterns using these great combinations!!! Exciting stuff :D
Posted by: CJ | September 18, 2008 7:57 PM
I LOVE the turnovers! What a "sweet" way to help us save time when we're dying to see the finished project!
Posted by: Megan Haroldsen | September 18, 2008 7:58 PM
More items to add to my growing Houston Quilt Show list! Do they come with scratch and sniff???? Ahhhh!
Posted by: Quiltinggranna | September 18, 2008 8:03 PM
I think they are wonderful. The turnovers are such a great idea. Takes the pain outof cutting triangles. The two bonus squares in the layer cakes will make things better too! The sweetrolls are perfect. So many fabric cuts, so many possiblities...
Posted by: Tatania | September 18, 2008 11:46 PM
Oh what will they think of next...I think the sweet roll idea is great...endless possibilities to make lovely things...thats for the chance to go into the draw

I really really love the turnovers!! and I really appreciate being having them a bit larger so I'm able to square them up later. I think all these new offerings are refreshing ideas to us older, longtime quilters.
Posted by: Deb C. | September 19, 2008 7:39 AM
I am so excited for the sweet rolls. I love jelly rolls, but often I wish they were thinner.. thanks!!

Sweet treats! i love them all!! what a great time saver!! i look forward to working with them!!

Thanks for giving us such great products!
Posted by: Stefanie Roman | September 19, 2008 8:37 AM
Oh, turnovers!! Rock on! I am in love with layer cakes and charm packs, I adore being able to have all peices of a collection but not have to spend a fortune to get them all! Turnovers to add to this? Being able to look like a pro but saving so much time?? Too too cool!! Thanks so much, can NOT wait to get my hands on some.
Posted by: Jenn | September 19, 2008 8:59 AM
Brilliant! How did you get inside my head to know what I wanted???
Posted by: Karen S | September 19, 2008 9:28 AM
Oh my GOSH! The triangles are a GREAT idea! I can't wait to try them!
Posted by: Cheryl | September 19, 2008 9:59 AM
I just started getting into jelly rolls, so I'm behind the times... guess I'll have to play catch up. These look like great ideas!

WOW great ideas, sweetrolls are neat, but the Turnovers are especially appealing, love HST quilts, what a convenience these would be. great idea
Posted by: Nancy | September 19, 2008 1:06 PM
I'm loving those turnovers. Brilliant!
Posted by: Melanie | September 19, 2008 2:40 PM
Wonderful! Anything that saves me cutting time and is precise is great.
It is so nice to have an afforable way to have all the fabrics in a line, that is especially wonderful.
Posted by: Sue Cahill | September 19, 2008 2:52 PM
When I was a child, I helped grandma cut fabric into pieces for her quilt-making. Such fun times involving fabric and stories! I would love to show grandma the quilting innovations that are available now - all so sweet: turnovers, jelly rolls, sweet rolls! What wonderful ideas! =)
Posted by: Sulz | September 19, 2008 3:02 PM
I just heard about these from our moda rep. What a great idea. I can't wait to see them all at market.
Posted by: Jenny | September 19, 2008 3:18 PM
Jelly rolls, layer cakes, sweet rolls, turnovers-whats next pound cake? Love them all!!! The turnover concept is particuarly brilliant. Can't wait to see them.
Posted by: Patti Jarvis | September 19, 2008 3:31 PM
What a great idea! Thinking about food is always a sure way to peak some interest in quilters. These are simply delicious!

Gotta love all the pre cuts that help us time strapped quilters out.
Yeah for Moda !!!!
Posted by: Lori | September 19, 2008 4:21 PM
The Sweet rolls and Turnovers are wonderful additions to the precuts, they will be perfect with the charms that I have been collecting.
Posted by: Carolyn Howland | September 19, 2008 4:44 PM
Moda, oh Moda. Moda has got it going on! Another great product, and such a smart product. I can't wait for the turnovers, cutting triangles are not a favourite pastime of mine. Keep up the good work.
Posted by: Erinn | September 19, 2008 4:57 PM
I love the new Moda products......I use jelly rolls all the time! With the strips already cut you can make a quilt in no time and I've been collecting jelly roll books and patterns so I can make more. Can't wait for the new products to come out so I can make new quilts. Keep up the good work at Moda!

Wow I think the turnover idea is a great one. Can't wait to try them out. It will be fun to see what pattern ideas come from them.
Posted by: Annette | September 19, 2008 5:49 PM
What a marvelous idea....sweet rolls and turnovers to add to the sweet treats of layer cakes....
Love them...
Posted by: Nancy | September 19, 2008 5:51 PM
My two grandchildren love the quilts I've made them, and they're starting to learn to make their own small quilts, sewing by hand. They can work pretty independently if the cutting has already been done, so the layer cakes have been great. The turnovers will add some variety to their blocks -- super idea!
Posted by: Susan Fiore | September 19, 2008 6:19 PM
I love all of Moda's precut items and have used all of them. Now I'm waiting for Moda to come out with "icing" for these things! Maybe that will be someone to put them together for me! About the comment that these would be good for "new" quilters and teens - forget that! I'm FAR past "new and teen" and I love 'em.
Posted by: Ann | September 19, 2008 6:20 PM
These new products sound absolutely yummy! Thanks!
Posted by: Lynne in Hawaii | September 19, 2008 7:09 PM
All the talk of baked goods is making me hungry. What else goes good with sewing but FOOD? LOL Love the new turnovers. Great idea.
Posted by: sharon | September 19, 2008 7:23 PM
I'm a Moda girl, I love all of the Moda fabrics, and they entice me with new great fabrics all the time. When Jelly Rolls came out, it was so exciting, I love them. Finding out about these new sweet rolls and turnovers is just the best news I've heard in a long time. I love them both! I can't wait to get some. What a great idea with those turnovers!
Posted by: Carol Lewis | September 19, 2008 8:04 PM
I have been waiting for Moda to bring out some different Yummies and you have not disapointed Lissa. I can't cut straight even with rulers and rotary cutters so appreciate the precut goodies. Can't wait to order the triangles to go with my charm packs.
Posted by: Shirley in Australia | September 19, 2008 8:14 PM
I do believe I'm hungry! Great stuff!
Posted by: Anonymous | September 19, 2008 8:33 PM
Totally LOVE 'em! How much fun is that! I've been teaching kids at school how to quilt and we used the charm packs, made it SO easy. Bought my first layer cake the other day and it's scrumptious. Can't wait to play with those triangles. Good thinking, keep 'em coming!
Posted by: Clair | September 19, 2008 8:38 PM
What a wonderful idea! Quilters are so busy these days and are always on the lookout for time saving ideas - like the pre-cut fabrics! I'm looking forward to seeing the new items in my LQS!

Posted by: Karen | September 19, 2008 9:01 PM
Jelly rolls and turnovers. What a great idea! (and why am I suddenly hungry?) I remember cutting hundreds of triangles to make my daughter's charm stars quilt. It took me years. Honest. Poor kid would have had the quilt so much sooner if turnovers had been invented already!
Posted by: Rachel | September 19, 2008 9:31 PM
They look like a lot of fun. Linda gerig
Posted by: Linda Gerig | September 19, 2008 9:33 PM
AAAAAAHHH!!! I ADORE Moda!! I'm totally stoked about those Turnovers... oh MAN... the things you can do with those!!!!!! YAY!
Posted by: krissy | September 19, 2008 9:42 PM
Wow! That looks like a lot of bias edges!
Posted by: Theresa | September 19, 2008 11:27 PM
First I think it's a great marketing tool because who doesn't like bundles of fabric and the names...layer cake, turnover, jelly roll...delicious. I also think they're terrific because the cutting is already done and there are lots of great patterns called for these pre-cut sizes. AND they give you a chance to own every piece in the line without having to purchase way more than you need. Love them!!!
Posted by: Stephanie | September 20, 2008 4:01 AM
I love these as it is so much fun to come up with new ways to use them and sometimes you just need to have them and not do anything with them as they look too lovely to disturb. If only the calorie laden stuff could stay untouched.
Posted by: Dianne | September 20, 2008 4:21 AM
I'm just beginning to quilt and am overwhelmed with all the delicious patterns out there. It's becoming an addiction! I love the idea of the turnovers...the wheels are turning in the old noodle!!
Posted by: Rachel Piper | September 20, 2008 6:15 AM
Turnovers and Jellyrolls! Just in time for breakfast! I love these. Especially because now with two little kids, the cutting takes FOREVER! What a great idea!
Posted by: Karen | September 20, 2008 6:20 AM
What great ideas. I can't wait to see these goodies at my local quilt shop.
Posted by: Carol | September 20, 2008 6:52 AM
Oh dear. More sweet ways to entice me to buy fabric. I love it! How will I decide which format to buy? Seriously, though, the turnovers are a great idea!
Posted by: Michelle | September 20, 2008 6:53 AM
The Turnovers are genius! I have a friend who is interested in making a quilt, but wasn't so sure about all the cutting. I told her Layer Cakes are for you!
**Oh, I hope I win!**
Posted by: Shnoodle | September 20, 2008 7:44 AM
I love the turnovers and can see a class developing around layer cakes, turnovers and the like. What's next? Petit Fours? These get the creative juices flowing. But now I'm off in search of chocolate........ colored fabric!
Posted by: Cathy | September 20, 2008 8:19 AM
I'm definatly interested! I love that the turnovers can be use easily with the charm squares! And..sweetrolls! That sounds super fun!
Posted by: julia | September 20, 2008 8:21 AM
So many treats, so little time. My creative juices are flowing. Please don't make me wait until the spring to get my hands on these!!!!
Posted by: stephanie | September 20, 2008 9:40 AM
I love charm squares and jelly rolls and think the more precut options the better. I really like the idea of sweet rolls
Posted by: Anne | September 20, 2008 10:00 AM
Moda so get's us women!! These new yummies go straight to my heart and not my thighs!!Turnover's and Sweet rolls, be still my heart!

Posted by: Lisa Leimone | September 20, 2008 10:38 AM
Brilliant! I hated to trim down my pretty charm squares to match pieced triangles--I can hardly wait to whip up some fun projects. Cute names too--they are making me drool. Thanks Moda!
Posted by: Karen | September 20, 2008 10:47 AM
I love what the results are from Moda U Retreat! The turnovers will save us time to keep working on projects!! Keep at it!
Posted by: Stacy | September 20, 2008 10:53 AM
I can't wait to use a Turnover!!! I am asking my LQS to get some ASAP!
Thanks forthe great new stuff

Love this new stuff! I can always count on Moda for loads of cool stuff I absolutely HAVE to buy! :)
Posted by: Callie Appelstein | September 20, 2008 5:04 PM
what another perfect fabric cut idea from Moda... so busy these days with work, kids and life in general, this is a perfect shortcut! and the turnovers quick easy quilt!
thanks for sharing.. now, I wonder how long 'til they come to Australia??? we are only JUST seeing layer cakes in some stores..
Posted by: Lissa | September 20, 2008 5:32 PM
wow what a fantastic idea
I cant wait to try some sweet rolls and turnovers
I hope it wont take long to get them here is Australia
hugs Beth
Posted by: Beth | September 20, 2008 9:29 PM
Hmm where do I begin? I'm not sure who came up with "turnovers" but it's brilliant. In fact all the pre-cut fabrics are brillant, but you know that LOL. I buy for myself...but more than anything I buy them for my mother in law. She's had problems with her right shoulder and carpel tunnel in both wrists. I used to cut all her projects, now I buy Moda charms, strips etc. They are a godsend for me and HER. Thank you from both of us!
Posted by: Vickie E | September 21, 2008 12:27 AM
Lol...I can't wait to see people's expressions when I tell them that MY mailman brings me sweet rolls & turnovers ;P
Posted by: DianeM | September 21, 2008 4:23 AM
Love those triangles. Great ideas.
Posted by: Anna McD | September 21, 2008 5:04 AM
How cute!! I'd love to whip up a few sweet treats with those turnovers....
great idea!!!!
Posted by: Lisa | September 21, 2008 5:32 AM
I love the new ideas. They will be so fun to work with.
Posted by: Donna | September 21, 2008 7:03 AM
I love, love jelly rolls! I can hardly wait for these new products to come out. They will add to ease of sewing with jelly rolls and charm squares.
Posted by: MichelleB | September 21, 2008 7:22 AM
I've never made a quilt from the precut packs, though I've thought about it. maybe if the right fabric line came around. a lot of lines seem to have a handful of prints that are higher contrast - like some white background pieces in a line of saturated colors - that I don't know what to do with. so I end up choosing my own fabrics so that I can pick and choose the colors.
the triangle turnovers are interesting. I'm guessing it's cut in the traditionally way, so that the long side of the triangle is the stretchy side? if it wasn't, I would definitely get a pack. I hate dealing with bias when I make my own triangles.
Posted by: jenny | September 21, 2008 8:21 AM
Wow! I can't wait until next January.
I wish they could come to the Pacific International Quilt Festival.
Posted by: Mikamika | September 21, 2008 8:31 AM
I have just discovered charm packs and jelly rolls and love how they cut the time down in my projects...cutting the cutting time. I have began collecting them and find them useful in deciding which fabrics to use in a project then I can always order the fabric I need online!
Thanks for the great product!
Posted by: Ferne | September 21, 2008 8:34 AM
I hope this comment makes the list. I tried yesterday and this morning still no comment. I think the turnovers are to die for and sweet rolls will fit many of the patterns that you have to cut a jelly roll down too. Thanks for your continuing brilliance. Kathie
Posted by: Kathie | September 21, 2008 9:39 AM
i'm not good at cutting straight, so these look great!
Posted by: Jess | September 21, 2008 10:38 AM
I am so excited for these, the pre-cut pieces make it more do-able for me to complete a project. I can't wait for them to come out!!

Jelly rolls, Sweet rolls, and Turnovers are like having that proverbial gift closet. By having these sitting on the shelf waiting for me, I'm ready for any gift giving event. Baby showers, weddings, or someone in need of a quilt hug. Thanks you making my life easier in in sharing my love of quilting in the form of a gift quilt.

It's my birthday this week but I believe my gift came a little early! I just adore these lovely (non-fat) "treats."
Posted by: Jackie | September 21, 2008 7:26 PM
WOW!!! I am in love with the turnovers!!! I can't wait to get my hands on some of those : )
Posted by: Jamie H | September 21, 2008 8:01 PM
How did Moda know that I hate to cut strips, squares, let alone triangles? Thank you for making my sewing so much easier. You really are in the forefront of sewing technology!!
Posted by: Fairy Mary | September 21, 2008 8:14 PM
I love it all! OOOO I wanna win, my stash needs some serious replenishing. I've been busting it, so time for new. Here's hoping for a win in Idaho! Thank You!

This looks suspiciously like a new addiction coming on...

Welcome back, I have missed your blog.
I love jelly rolls, sweet rolls (both fabric and edible), and the turnovers are something new to me. Great idea. They look like they will be useful.
Posted by: Maureen Flax | September 22, 2008 12:21 PM
This is such good news! I am hooked on charm packs and this will be such a nice addition to my stash.
Posted by: jill | September 22, 2008 1:41 PM
Wow am I glad I decided to try quilting now. I have always been a bit scared about geting fabric and cutting and making a mistake. Now it is so easy.
I am off to find easy patterns to use all these sweet fabric cuts on.
ps also have to grab a sweet bite to eat
Posted by: Pamela | September 22, 2008 2:01 PM
Wow.....there is always something new to entice us quilters....jelly rolls, layer cakes, sweet rolls, turnovers....you realize when our DH's ask us what we did today and we say "I messed around with some layer cakes"......they are going to ask where is the desert?????

Posted by: Karen Langseth | September 22, 2008 2:17 PM
I LOVE these fabrics! I'm on a fabric buying "diet" - I've pledged not to buy any fabric, books, rulers, etc., for an ENTIRE YEAR! But these fabrics are SOO tempting.

Yummy! would love to try them!
Posted by: upstatelisa | September 23, 2008 5:34 AM
I love these! Great time-savers for those of us don't have as much time to sew as we'd like (i.e. everybody)! Can't wait to see all the new patterns that come out using combinations of the pre-cuts! Very clever to give all of them "sweet" names, so we can indulge while still watching our calories!
Posted by: diane | September 23, 2008 6:48 AM
give any fabric a foody name and i'm all over it!
Posted by: rebecca | September 23, 2008 7:45 AM
Thank you Moda! You keep coming up with things to inspire quilters and keep us coming back for more. I can just see wonderful fantasy pinwheels being made with the turnovers. Cutting is my least favorite part of quilting, so I love that part being completed for me.
Posted by: Anonymous | September 23, 2008 8:08 AM
I love all the options to have a taste of the fabric collections. (Isn't taste the perfect word?!)
Thanks!!!
Posted by: Kari | September 23, 2008 8:22 AM
Fabulous! As well as being a great way to get a complete range of fabrics, now there are so many yummy treats to choose from. So what's next? I'm thinking, muffins, cupcakes, cookies, scrolls - talk about making us hungry for more! These make great gifts for quilters as well. Thanks Moda!
Posted by: Alison | September 23, 2008 9:02 AM
I think Moda now offers too many different kinds of pre-cuts. The "speciality" could get lost. For me cutting fabric is a big part of fun when creating a new quilt. Certainly I like MODA - the quality in generell and the precision of pre-cuts.
HAPPY QUILTING to all of you :)
Posted by: Tina | September 23, 2008 9:16 AM
I think the sweet rolls will be fun to play with; sitting on the fence regarding the turnovers...
Posted by: Susan | September 23, 2008 9:48 AM
Hmmm... maybe I COULD go on a diet now if I'm getting my sweet fix from yummy fabric cuts! I'm most excited about the Turnovers! Super great idea Moda! Thanks!!
Posted by: Melissa | September 23, 2008 9:54 AM
Sweet Treats, Jelly Rolls & Turnovers! Oh my! These will be great additions to my fabric "diet"! Thanks for giving us quilters new things to play with... with less grunt work.
Posted by: Sinta | September 23, 2008 9:57 AM
Absolutely LOVE the Triangles. I'm hoping that Moda will come out with Triangles in all white and some basic colors too, so that we can showcase some of the fabric lines!
Posted by: Celia | September 23, 2008 11:43 AM
How cool! As a brand new quilter this year, I made my first few quilts using Moda precut fabrics - Pumpkins Gone Wild Layer Cake, Red, White, & Bold Charm Packs, and Fresh Squeezed Jelly Roll. I CAN HARDLY WAIT to see the new collections!!!!
Posted by: Angie | September 23, 2008 12:01 PM
These are adorable! I would love to win them.

They just keep coming up with such wonderful ideas....I just wonder what will be next.....
Posted by: Trudy | September 23, 2008 1:10 PM
These sweet rolls are just the right size! I wish I would have had them for the quilt I'm currently working on. Then again, there's always the next one:D
Posted by: Natalie | September 23, 2008 2:42 PM
Such a great idea and the play on the names is so fun!
Posted by: Jamie AZ | September 23, 2008 2:49 PM
I've just used my first jelly roll and I'm hooked. How exciting to have new options in precut fabrics!
Posted by: Carrie | September 23, 2008 2:52 PM
I can't wait to get my hands on these new cuts! Pair the Sweet Rolls with Marti Michell's log cabin ruler and you can whip up a log cabin quilt in a jiffy! And the triangles! Can't wait!
Donna
Posted by: Donna Bell | September 23, 2008 4:20 PM
Wow! My customers are going to love these new ideas! Sweet rolls and turnovers. I am especially excited about the 6" block cut diagonally to make 2 turnovers! What a clever idea! You are awesome! I can hardly wait to get started on a quilt top! This idea will make it so easy.
Posted by: Linda Tubesing | September 23, 2008 5:20 PM
Wow, more than 200 comments! :) What we quilters will do for a bit of fabric... :) I really love the new cuts of fabric from Moda. I've only been quilting for a few years and I still have small kids at home, so while I can't always afford to go and buy a yard or more of all the designer fabrics I love, I am still able to get a little taste with these more affordable collections. It's fun to see all the quilts people come up with using them too!
Posted by: Valerie | September 23, 2008 7:17 PM
How much easier can sewing get? This is wonderfuljust sit down and sew away!! Especailly great for classroom sewing when space is so limited,no real yardage cutting required, the Turnovers sound especaiolly interesting to me,they can be a challenge to cut accurately.
Posted by: Bonnie | September 23, 2008 8:20 PM
The new products look great! I can't wait to see the patterns for them.
Posted by: Rene S | September 24, 2008 6:02 PM
Ok, am I the only one who finds it almost impossible to use these wonderful sweet treats? I just love displaying and petting them. Love the idea of 42 in the layer cakes - and I think the sweet rolls for table runners are wonderful. Dee
Posted by: Dee | September 24, 2008 6:04 PM
Oh my gosh, can't wait to get my grubby little hands on this new stuff. The projects are already starting to churn in my brain. What a great idea. Thanks Moda.
Posted by: flpoolgal | September 24, 2008 7:23 PM
I love the Moda pre-cuts and all of the fun ways to use them. I can't wait to try some of the new turnovers!!
Posted by: Becky | September 24, 2008 10:23 PM
Lissa:Thank you!! I'm a true Newbee Quilter & have difficulty "sewing a fine seam & cutting a straight line" :) So the wonderful Turnovers and Sweet Rolls (along with the Charms, Layer Cakes, Jelly Rolls, etc.) have been a real blessing to me as I learn and practice the magic of quiltmaking! :) Much Joy and Many Blessings~your creativity is much appreciated! Joani B.
Posted by: Joani B. | September 25, 2008 6:45 AM
Fantastic idea! My friend had a mastectomy recently and has difficulty cutting fabric (and is quite bummed about it). She will be so excited to hear of the additions to your jelly roll cuts (of which she has many). Thank you!
Now to forward the good news to her.
Posted by: Anonymous | September 25, 2008 7:22 AM
The turnovers look like fun! I love working with triangles and this will make it faster and easier! I work in a quilt shop and joke that it's my job to get everyone who comes in the door hooked on jelly rolls, now I have some new stuff to play with!
Posted by: Pamela | September 25, 2008 8:10 AM
I wish I had the triangles now to do my Fig & Plum Moda U kit... I can't help but wonder how much these are going to cost?
Posted by: Pam Matthews | September 25, 2008 2:59 PM
Great idea and I know my daughter-in-law will love the 1/2 square triangles also as she is new to quilting!

All of Moda's Jelly Rolls and Layer Cakes are fantastic and so quick to use. And now Sweet Rolls and Turnovers! I'm jumping up and down!. Can't wait to try them. Projects are so quick to start with these. Go Moda!
Posted by: Joy | September 27, 2008 4:54 PM
Moda is the best! I can't wait to get some Turnovers! I just spent lots of time cutting charm squares in half on the diagonal and Turnovers would have been perfect.
Posted by: Karen Lyons | September 27, 2008 10:06 PM
All of these pre-cut "sweets" are a great way to put a quilt together quickly.
At our last retreat one of the gals put together a quilt top in a few hours using a jelly roll and a charm pack.
