Buffalo Games - Charles Wysocki - The Quiltmaker Lady - 1000 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle, Green

I LIKE THE PUZZLE

I previously purchased a Counterfeit puzzle which was packed in a white box, all the pieces were one shape plus edges, was blurry, the accompanying poster was blurry, and it STANK. I am allergic to floral perfumes. I decided to trash the puzzle rather than return it because I dud not want someone else to have to endure the experience.

This is a beautiful puzzle. It is fairly challenging to complete but not so challenging that it was frustrating for me.

Wonderful

Ive done so many Charles W. 1000 piece puzzles that its hard to find ones I havent done that at or under my maximum price. This one is beautiful and brightly colored. I love quilts, too, so it was perfect. For my favorite ones I like to glue and frame them. Im a teacher and I hang them in my classroom.

Puzzles by Charles Wysocki used to be a little sturdier. Still like his puzzles because they can be sorted in to different areas. For instances: streets, houses, sky, etc. I can work the puzzle while watching TV .

Nothing more frustrating than finishing a puzzle and you’re missing a piece. This puzzle, while beautiful, came missing one piece and also came with a duplicate of two pieces. We were left with two extra pieces, both of which were repeats, and a hole in one of the quilts, where our missing piece would have gone. Made it more difficult/frustrating. Two stars for the enjoyment leading up until we realized this towards the end.

See the extra piece on the left side of the photo? This has never happened to me before!! Where did this piece come from?! LOL! This brand of puzzle is ok ... the 1,000 [or 1,001?!] pieces come together much quicker because of the obvious patterns, so it makes a nice puzzle to work while listening to an audio book. HOWEVER, one thing that always irks me about this brand: its pretty common for 2 pieces to SEEM like they belong together when really they do not. Even still, I enjoy puzzle from this brand.

I was having a lot of fun with this one, but then there were too many look alike and shaped alike pieces .In the end I ended up with three pieces that didnt fit in the three spaces that remained, so I had to hunt around for which pieces I put in the wrong places. Fortunately it was not too difficult but really slowed me down and frustrated me while doing it. Interesting to switch sections. I really enjoyed the quilts fence and buildings, and really did not enjoy the trees, green endless nearly alike flowers that were all over the puzzle. Not sure Ill risk one of these again. It is a pretty puzzle though.

It was easier than a lot of other jigsaws but I chose it because of the quilts.
