When we met up and talked, I got the whole story. He had been invited to an Adventure Time-themed costume party. In order to get into the party, you have to be dressed up, and there were no duplicate costumes allowed, so you had to sign up for a character on the Facebook event.
He decided to be Old Finn. He showed me this picture:

He also brought about three yards of denim and a blue tablecloth. He thought we might cut pieces of tablecloth out and hot glue them to the denim to look like a quilt.
I scoffed. If we were going to make a quilt, we were going to do it right. So, two evenings of crafting and many little pieces of fabric later, we ended up with this:

I built two small quilts out of denim and backed it in the tablecloth. We hot glued the decorations on to maintain a cartoonish look. Then, I stitched the shoulders together to create a quilt poncho of sorts and he dug up some rope for the belt. We used a grey shirt for the claw arm.
This was also when I realized that I'm going to LOVE having kids and making them Halloween costumes!
