Should I quilt over the dashes? Or do a meandering stitch (the only one I know lol) overall.
Question: What color thread should I use? Dashes or meandering?

Not sure I understand your question. Are you going to cut out the animal motifs on the first fabric and applique them to a background? or do you just plan to use that fabric as a whole cloth and quilt around the animals? Either way, if you want them to actually be applique, or just look like appliqued, I'd outline them first and then do a denser fill to make them pop up as applique. I'd use a neutral, sage like green probably if using this as a whole cloth. If you plan to cut these out and attach to another background, then I'd match that background.
