What about something like the quilt shown here? I can see the center five inch squares and the strips around the white as being in dotted fabric. I know she uses precuts, but I am making this right now without those....just cut my own, and I am concentrating on blue or purples. I think it might be very interesting in dots.

Here is a picture of where my quilt is at the moment...in case that helps.
