Assembly

I normally do a thorough sort on a 1000 piece jigsaw puzzles for adults but this one is 2000 pieces which would take upwards to 4 foam boards or more.

Instead, the sorting was resorted to similar colors as I moved along different areas of the image. As you can see below the similar browns/blacks have been gathered.

I didn't even get the border done first this time. I started with piles of colors and placing pieces together. The kittens seemed most outstanding on the green bench along with the red flowers.

Basically what happened after that was sorting the colors according to the items in the image....so things like the radio, tools, seed packets were fairly easy to identify.

The blue window frame with the outdoor details were a little tricky too but the most testy areas were the brown shelves.
