I love all these fabrics.
I actually decorated my daughter's room (back when she was a baby) in dots very similar to those, the line was called "disco dots". They weren't on an angle though. But I still really like them, as well as the rest of the fabrics.

I bet the dots would look fine in a scrappy quilt.

Maybe a Turning 20?

I have to say that the dots at an angle do bother me, and I think I'd have a really hard time using them. I'd feel like my block or the border, or whatever I used that for would look off kilter, and I manage to do plenty of that myself, thank you very much.

The bottom sample - the red and black one - would make a great companion to another fabric that was the topic of a long thread on here - but I can't find it! It was the fabric that was beige with a print that looked like 'male anatomical parts'. Maybe somebody else will remember what that thread was called. Anyway, this red and black reminds me so much of that, except without the 'round male anatomical parts'.

I like them all and wouldn't have any trouble finding space in a quilt for the wonky dots.

[quote=Favorite Fabrics]Robert Kaufman has a new group coming out called "Groove". It's all geometric-type prints, most of which I understand but there's one that really confuses me. I love dots... but this one is "wonky" and it leaves me wondering how you would use something like this?

I would add some florals in the same colors. They would awesome as binding.
Maybe as alternate blocks? or a small border?

I like the wonky. Mostly because I have non-wonky dots like the ones in the first pictures that became wonky within 1 cut. So maybe I'll cut the wonky ones straight!

For fans of black-white-red... here are three other fabrics in this line in those colors.

The last one almost has an optical illusion effect, creating big white dots separated by the bits of black.

There is an older pattern on the Moda Bakeshop site that uses the Moda Sweet pattern line to make a 64 X 64 quilt. The top is a solid piece of muslin then there are dozens of 3 inch circles floating over the quilt top. The circles have raw edges and are quilted in spirals to the top. Very cute and fun. I think the wonky circle material would look really cute used this way.

I would just throw them out. Yuck.
