Frequently Asked Questions
What are conversational prints in quilting?
Conversational prints (also called “conversation fabrics”) feature small, easily identifiable motifs — tiny animals, food items, tools, transportation, household objects, and similar subjects. They’re called “conversational” because they invite comment and recognition. They’re popular in children’s quilts, charm quilts, and themed projects.
