After Data Dad unlocked the puzzle of the puzzle (see previous blog), I moved full steam ahead. Voila: the Amish quilt puzzle in its final stages.
As I was doing this puzzle I dreamt that I was having a conversation with friends about Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes. My friends were awestruck because Tom and Katie had lots of children. I retorted, "yeah, but 15 of their children are jigsaw puzzle pieces."
When you intently focus on assembling a puzzle—especially when you're looking for the most minute bits of color or teeny fragments of patterns that allow you to match one piece to another—puzzling can really sink deeply into your unconscious. My TomKatie dream was far from the first dream I've had about jigsaw puzzles; in fact, when I'm really absorbed in a complex puzzle during my waking hours, images of colors and pieces snake through that half-asleep, half-awake zone during the night.
Long live jigsaw puzzles! Long live beautiful, rich Amish quilt patterns! Long live Tom and Katie and may they have endless number of jigsaw puzzle cherubs!
In fully interlocking solidarity,
Jigsaw Maniac
Loose lips sink ships—keep busy with jigsaw puzzles ✌
