Quiz Quilt Rules

Every week I will post six trivia questions, one in each of six genus trivia categories. Each correct answer will be one word and is worth one point (poor spelling okay if close enough). In particular, last names of people and nicknames of professional sports teams are usually desired (e.g. WASHINGTON for George Washington and METS for New York Mets) except when a person is known by a single name (Madonna, etc.). If it helps, assume you are in a pub in Boston, Massachusetts.

The six category answers can be put together in a grid to form the solution to the quilt itself, which is the answer to the clue given in the title of the post. The solution will be formed right side up or upside down from a column of letters in the category answers, the last letters in each answer, or one of the two main diagonals anchored at the first letter of the first or last answer.

The quilt solution is worth four points (exact spelling required) and will always be six letters long, usually a single word but possibly multiple words concatenated together.

The short-answer questions, answers, and notes for the Quiz Quilts are taken from my book Trivia Why's, Volume 1, so reading that volume is prohibited (but feel free to buy copies as presents ;-).
