How Sweet It Is! Moda Serves Up More Pre-Cut Fabric Goodies, Introducing "Honey Buns" and "Turnovers"...Plus, Make A Comment For Your Chance To Win!

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 "Honey Buns" (Oops. Moda changed the name!) and “Turnovers”!Sweet%20Roll.jpg

 

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

SWEET ROLLS Honey RollsTM

And we have just introduced Sweet Rolls Honey Rolls. TM


Looks like a jellyroll,
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?


TURNOVERSTMturnovers.jpg


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...

The triangles are such an awesome idea!

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!

I love the pre-cut triangles!!! What a great idea...

Oh my goodness - those turnovers (what a cute name!) are soo great! What a fun giveaway!

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.
Kathie

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!

Oh, these look so wonderful! Fat free "sweet rolls" and "turnovers" - yummy!

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!

Great new products! The more you can sell precut, the better.

Oh, those turnovers are inspired!!!

What great ideas! Can't wait to see them in my favorite fabric lines.

I especially like the triangles. It will give us a lot more options for using charms!

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!

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!

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!!

My triangle cutting would definitely NOT make anyone envious, so those turnovers are perfect!

less cutting, more sewing - that's my kind of fabric pack!

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!

I love triangles, but hate cutting them! Bring on the turnovers!

I love them all; and the bonus? NO CALORIES!!!

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 ...

I love these new packs. I love the time savings of a pre-cut kit combined with the flexibility of choosing your own fabric.

Love the Sweet Rolls; can't wait to see them!

Love those triangles. They'll be really handy for moving projects along. Sweet :)

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

They look great; I especially think the "turnovers" will be yummy!

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!

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

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!

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

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).

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!

Lite?! They are sweet treats with no calories at all. What could be better?

WOW! These are great! I love how innovative Moda is :)

Turnovers & sweet rolls! Yummy!

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!!!

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

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!

Turnovers? What a great concept! How come I never think of these things? ;)

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.

I love the idea of turnovers and that they will work charm packs. Great idea!

I love the idea of the turnovers!!

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!!

I love the turnovers! There is so much you can do with those triangles. Thanks for sharing!

Great ideas! Now we need some pies and cupcakes (circles precut)!

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????

I love the triangle ones. I'd love to use them!

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!

Ok, I know that I don't NEED Turnovers and Sweet Rolls, but these things just make quilting so fun! Thanks, Moda!

I love the jelly rolls, sweet rolls, turnovers, layer cakes ...all these sweets and it won't go to my hips! Thanks Moda!

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)

...oh, I forgot: those Sweet Rolls are just PERFECT for adapting JellyRoll patterns to smaller size quilts...ingenious!

Cheers, Julai

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!

I LOVE THOSE PRE-CUT FABRICS....A BOX OF CUPCAKES, OR JELLY ROLLS FROM THE LOCAL BAKERY WOULD MAKE THEM EVEN BETTER!!!!!

Almost like Leggo's...lots of sizes guanteed to fit together!

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.

Oh I love this stuff!

I think that I would buy anything called a sweetroll, or a turnover.

Great ideas! I love having so many options!

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!

I love the idea of triangles - I avoid sewing with them because I'm really bad at cutting them accuratly

These are all delicious! I especially love the Turnovers--let me skip over the tedious cutting and get right to sewing!

Super cute and creative! Love the idea of the turnover and the sweet roll. What will they think of next! So clever!

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

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!

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 :)

moda and jelly rolls, i just can't get enough! Love those new sweet rolls will be awesome.

Wonderful idea....can't wait to get hold of some of the Turnovers.

I love the idea of the sweet rolls and turnovers. Can't wait until new patterns come out using jelly rolls, sweet rolls, layer cakes and turnovers. Thanks, Moda!

I just love this idea and can't wait to give it a try!

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!

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.

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!

WOW, I can continue to whip up some great new quilts without all the prep work. Yeah! Can't wait to see what fabric lines they do first. Love ya MODA.

Awesome, I really like the turnovers, it's something different and great for some quilting projects I have in mind. :)

These are going to be so much fun to play with.

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.
maree

These are such a good idea! I can't wait to get my hands on some turnovers. Thanks for all the great precuts!

Love the turnover idea!!! What a fun idea and oh so much easier then cutting them your self.

Love all the gorgeous fabric. I need to sew soon!

Sweet and no cal! Sounds like a couple of winners to me! Yummy designs

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!

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.

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 : )

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...

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

I LOVE the turnovers! What a "sweet" way to help us save time when we're dying to see the finished project!

More items to add to my growing Houston Quilt Show list! Do they come with scratch and sniff???? Ahhhh!

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...

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

Love the idea sweetrolls and turnovers, espicially the idea of the turnovers, auhhh no more cutting all those triangles. Oh I just love moda

I love the jelly rolls but havent tried the turnovers yet. It is so easy to whip a quilt up in this rush rush world we live in. I cant wait to try them.
Toni

awesome ideas! Moda is my favorite fabric line & being a new pattern designer (one pattern with a jelly roll & one with charm packs)these new delicious sweets have really got my creative "juices" flowing! I can't wait to get my hands on some to start creating some new things!

I don't know what happened but for some reason my post above this one is listed as anonymous...but that's my post...I'm mizbucky.
I was hoping I could fix it but I guess I can't. I'll try to contact the owner of "the buzz"...
donna

This is awesome! Great for those of us who don't have a lot of free time left after long work days to get a little bit of fun creative time in!

Help!! There is something wrong with the way the posts are showing up! Michelle's comment has shown up with my name!! mizbucky

I can't find a place to contact the owner...so everyone that posts after Michelle might want to sign their comments.

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.

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!!

I love all of the sweet treats! They are simply genius! No more wasting time cutting! Plus we get a sample of everything in the line!

I can't wait to get my hands on the sweet rolls and turnovers! HOT! HOT! HOT!

Thanks for giving us such great products!

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.

Brilliant! How did you get inside my head to know what I wanted???

Oh my GOSH! The triangles are a GREAT idea! I can't wait to try them!

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!

Turnovers! Love it!

Love the triangle idea, very clever!

WOW great ideas, sweetrolls are neat, but the Turnovers are especially appealing, love HST quilts, what a convenience these would be. great idea

I'm loving those turnovers. Brilliant!

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.

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! =)

I just heard about these from our moda rep. What a great idea. I can't wait to see them all at market.

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.

What a great idea! Thinking about food is always a sure way to peak some interest in quilters. These are simply delicious!

I love jelly rolls, and I'm sure I will LOVE sweet rolls. so fun.

They're so cute............will look forward to seeing them in my lqs after 1st of yr.
Gotta love all the pre cuts that help us time strapped quilters out.
Yeah for Moda !!!!

The Sweet rolls and Turnovers are wonderful additions to the precuts, they will be perfect with the charms that I have been collecting.

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.

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.

What a marvelous idea....sweet rolls and turnovers to add to the sweet treats of layer cakes....

Love them...

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!

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.
