My sister is currently making 2 dinosaur quilts. We went over design thought again and again. She use many solids from her stash. Mostly primary colors and purchased the dinosaur die to go with the Accuquilt system that she has (the Go! Me). She is using the 3 different dinosaurs on the die for this quilt then her only other purchase was to buy a backing fabric and she found a 108" dinosaur fabric for the backing. She is still working on appliqueing the dinosaurs and making her blocks. I thought this might give you a few thoughts to work with.
