I would use "Just Can't Cut It" because it uses large scale fabrics. The pattern calls for one 'primary' large scale plus five to coordinate with the primary, but I have done this pattern using several fabrics when I had a custom project to do. I used horses, state birds, paw prints, daisies, and sea-shells! I saw that I could tie all these assorted fabrics from the requestor together with some brown and golden caramel colors, and it worked out.

Have you thought of doing an adult I Spy quilt for him? So much to look at and identify...
Here's a great one made by board member vintagemotif, for her 86 yo Dad:
