The trick to assembling this is to work on each long, vertical strip separately. My table lined up with colorful, unconnected designs. Then I connected them and filled in the blanks. It was a lot easier than it looks!For puzzle lovers: on a recent trip to Pacific Grove I discovered heaven in I'm Puzzled.
I'm Puzzled has products from just about every manufacturer you can think of. Puzzles are organized by themes (animals, classic art, pastoral settings, etc.). The shop has a huge range from which to choose. And the owner has a binder full of plastic sheets with little pockets, each pocket containing a couple of pieces from different manufacturers so you can see and (very importantly) feel the quality. I spent about an hour exploring and talking with the employee about the puzzle kingdom (trading info about favorites, frustrations, and so forth). And as you can imagine, I left with an embarrassingly huge bag of new puzzles. What joy. Be sure to make it to I'm Puzzled when you can.
