Say It Right

One of those things you never ever think about, until you do:

Opinion
Size
Age
Shape
Color
Origin
Material
Purpose
NOUN

AKA OSACOMP

That's why it's:

The Quick Brown Fox Jumps Over The Lazy Dog

and not:

The Brown Quick Fox Jumps Over The Lazy Dog

This is the agreed-upon order that we use adjectives in the English language. If you do it any differently you'll sound strange, maybe even crazy. If you're writing the sentence yourself and you re-read it, the word that's in the wrong place will stand out as quite odd and you'll rearrange the words until it's *right*.

It's pretty wild. when you start thinking about it.

I think it'd make a great quilt series.

I'd use one of the OSACOMP words either in each piece, or as part of the pieces' title and then present it as a whole with the quilts having to be shown in a certain order and then see if anyone got it or not. This of course assumes someone wants to show 8 quilts all in a row with something obscure yet obvious tying them together. This likely won't get much beyond this point, so don't worry. But I'm still putting it in the "Quilt Series Ideas" tag just in case.
