Anyone fancy a new jigsaw thread?

Hello all.

I really enjoyed the last jigsaw thread which was going on during the summer and wondered if anyone fancied sharing any pictures of jigsaws that are currently being done?
I'm nearly finished with my Disney Christmas one. A nice easy one which has only taken me a couple of days.
The weather is grim today so I expect it will be finished very soon! I will post a full picture once it is complete.
Would love to see your jigsaws....

Redoing some of my old jigsaws, this one was a bit samey.

The reason a 1000 piece jigsaw takes so much longer than a 500 is that each piece has so many more possible locations, and each space has so many more potential pieces to fill it.

Just finished this one

lots of fun

I gave this one to DS and DDIL for Christmas , there are lot of nice ones in the 'World of.......' series.

I currently doing a HOP jigsaw. I have broken my right wrist and struggle ith picking up the pieces, but the HOP one are 500 pieces and the pieces are extra large, so suit me fine.

I enjoyed this one.

InMySpareTime · 11/07/2023 07:38

I did this one, it was nice and easy with bright colours and clear lines.

Samcro · 11/07/2023 09:33

just started a wheres wally one. yikes

InMySpareTime · 15/07/2023 15:46

This 1500 was a bastard, took me weeks. Pieces don't fit snugly and the picture is blurry so I had a few misplaced pieces messing up the fit of others.

Currently doing this one. Nice but doesn’t fit on my board which is a tad annoying.

I’ve started this Cloudberries Origami puzzle. Really impressed with the quality of the puzzle and the pieces are nice and matte, which I like. I’m a bit daunted by how much blue background I have to fill in!

ifIwerenotanandroid · 15/07/2023 20:24

I've just done Crazy Cats in the Craftroom (1,000), which was great fun. It's too big for my usual board at c70 x 50cm, so I finished it on the dining table & had to make sure it was done & gone before dinner!

I was trying to think what else I could use for bigger puzzles. Has anyone used a whiteboard/blackboard/notice board?

InMySpareTime · 15/07/2023 20:30

I use a massive whiteboard on the spare bed for 2000 or 3000 piece jigsaws as they don't fit on the table. When not in use as a jigsaw board the whiteboard serves as a headboard for the spare bed. It's about 5ft by 4ft.

I started this 1980s themed one yesterday afternoon seeing as it was too rainy to do much of anything else.

BlackAmericanoNoSugar · 16/07/2023 16:55

I haven't done a proper jigsaw for ages, but I have just spent several hours putting together a pattern for a blouse that was printed on 20 odd pages of A4, does that count?

I have this Elena Essex jigsaw waiting for me. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0B6T6VSRS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_image_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1 I find jigsaw making is more of a wet weather/winter activity, but it's so miserable and wet here this summer that I'm tempted to just do it.

InMySpareTime · 17/07/2023 12:06

Did this 1000 in about 5 hours, it was great, no brute force bits.

ifIwerenotanandroid · 17/07/2023 17:49

I'm not supposed to be buying any more puzzles 😂- I'm just browsing, honestly! Saw this one & don't think I'll be buying it (PHOTO - reader discretion advised). It's on uk ebay if you want it.

I was very tempted by a recent one that was a collage of wild animals 'at it', but I managed to resist. Who knew this stuff was out there? I thought puzzling was such a sedate activity.

PuzzleMania · 19/07/2023 23:28

@ifIwerenotanandroid 😱

FiveShelties · 22/07/2023 04:17

I have just finished thus one, it was a charity shop purchase and one piece missing, but I enjoyed doing it.

MadisonAvenue · 23/07/2023 00:21

It’s rained all day so, apart from a few hours out to see Barbie, I’ve started and completed this one. I did the 1980s one last weekend and this is the 2000s.

FiveShelties · 30/07/2023 03:15

Just finished this one, flowers took a while.

InMySpareTime · 03/08/2023 17:56

This was a beast. So much sky! It took weeks. 3000 pieces.

PuzzleMania · 03/08/2023 19:18

3000 pieces? Crikey, it looks really tricky too.

OublietteBravo · 06/08/2023 19:04

Yesterday’s rain encouraged me to do a jigsaw. Just finished it!

MadisonAvenue · 13/08/2023 08:21

I did this one yesterday

ifIwerenotanandroid · 13/08/2023 15:55

I love seeing what puzzles people have been doing, especially if they post ones I haven't come across before.

@MadisonAvenue That one's beautiful.

@OublietteBravo What make is your animal puzzle?

@InMySpareTime you must have the patience of a saint.

InMySpareTime · 13/08/2023 15:57

I just have a lot of time on my hands. DH went away for a week and I'm pretty much housebound without him and the car. I spent most daylight hours for a week jigsawing as I had not much else to do.
