The 1,000 piece Redlin puzzle was started on Saturday evening and finished on Sunday morning.
The second puzzle (750 pieces) was more difficult: it included five extra pieces and did not have any straight edge pieces.
Brenda and I worked on the puzzle in sections and eventually the sections were connected with each other.
Both my MIL and I used to do puzzles every year over the winter. The kids would even work on it a little bit. I haven't done one since she passed 6 years ago. But I did buy a new puzzle last year and just saw it on the shelf. I might have to tackle that.
ReplyDeleteI love a good puzzle when you are stuck in during the winter. I just bought a new one for the puzzle table. Now I need the time to get to work on it.
ReplyDeleteOof puzzles. I like doing the edges and then I completely lose interest!
ReplyDeleteThat second one looks tough! We are working on one that is the head of a tiger...so curved edges. Very tricky.
ReplyDeleteI do not enjoy puzzles at all but I admire those who have the patience to do them. My sister has a puzzle going all of the time and enjoys the challenge. I would never be able to complete the second one you did. I always put the edges together first to make the frame and work inward. Well done! I do love the first puzzle’s picture though. A simpler time. Blessings, Betsy
ReplyDeleteWow! Did you eat at all? I am working on a 300 piece one with Will and he says it is too hard--I am trying to teach him some things are fun when you work a bit each day instead! I couldn't imagine doing the jagged edge puzzle!!!!! Great job!
ReplyDeleteWell done! I don't think I could handle one of those no edge puzzles! It would drive me mad!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Nancy! I'm just catching up with it all. I am so jealous of your beautiful puzzle completing! They are great puzzles, but I'm with Valerie, I think the edgeless one might make me bonkers. or more bonkers. hehe.
ReplyDeleteI would not have even considered that last one and loved the first one.
ReplyDeleteThat first one is so pretty! Puzzles are a great activity.
