Yep, that's the one that Barbara made Jiminy. It became one of my favorites, as it was so simple, yet conveyed so much. I still "see" some of these quilt squares in my mind when I hear the songs.

I was going to guess Spin Spin for the records, never even thought of ODR.

John, still waiting to hear what a general dogsbody is!

sorry Jenney
I should have realised this was not a word in use over here but a quick check at http://www.dictionary.com revealed:-
"pl. dogs·bod·ies Chiefly British Slang. One who does menial work; a drudge."

My concise English dictionary says:-
"a person who carries out menial tasks for others"
Either is a good description of a champion tour guide in my book
Laurel you are too good the first prize will be on its way very shortly and the prize for getting it's worth believing will follow too
The following square is for interest only because jj here put the title on it prominently!!Nice one Jimbo ('ll answer your e-mail soon)

there are a few other less obvious ones yet

No, the pic is not Lazy Morning!!!

[LSH]

Well, John now that I have my prize, I think I'll let others do the guessing
only fair after all. I really like this game! The Worth Believin' square was incredible. They all are. What a talented bunch of people.

sheesh, Jenney, I guess you're the workhorse. Better start delegating.

Good guess Violet! Let's see who can guess #21

This will either be an astounding correct answer or a complete lesson in humiliation!

Could that be..."A Passing Ship"?
