Okay, I think I have it now. Chatter = Conversation? Do you see how every little piece has a motif in it? These are what I call conversation prints. These were collected for charm quilts a while back where you used the same template shape for cutting out each piece but you were not supposed to have any fabric repeats in the whole quilt top. The reason conversation fabric pieces were popular were because you could remember if you already had that fabric unlike calicoes or patterns.
