ROFL - while it's a nice thought that they put those dots there to help quilters pick coorinating colors, but that's not the reason they are there. It's part of the printing process, they're color registers. Every color on the fabric uses a different print plate, printed one at a time. The dots tell the operator that he has the plate registered correctly on the fabric.
