And another -

 
 
Puzzle - 
 
This time it's "Puzzle Rainbow" -
Buffalo Games - 1000 pieces - 
 
A puzzle of puzzle pieces - 
 
How fun!! - 
 
 
My daughter did the "tray" in the upper left corner - 
And the "glasses" and "coffee" in the lower right corner - 
And is starting with the Blue/Purple puzzle pieces - 

 
I did the "tray" in the lower left corner - 
And am starting on the Green/Yellow puzzle pieces - 
 
We plan to meet in the middle - LOL - 

 
Meanwhile - 
 
Echo wants to know what we're doing - ;))
 
 
Tomorrow I REALLY want to sew -
 
I've decided on the final layout -
 
For my Upstairs/Downstairs - Bali Pops - Sherbet -
 
So now all I have to do is web the top - 
 
And sew it all together - 
 
If I can tear myself away from these addictive puzzles - 
 
And just DO it - LOL - ;))

Another finish -

 
 
I finished my Section of the puzzle - 
 
Fortune Deer - 2000 pieces - 
 
 
And we decided to keep going - 
 
And to finish all of the sections for the LEFT half - 

 
Then put them together on a large poster board - 

 
Then we decided to do the other half - 

 
And put those sections together on another piece of poster board - 

 
We didn't join them - 
 
But you get the idea - LOL - 

 
This turned out to be one beautiful puzzle - 

And we didn't finish it up until around midnight - 

So I was late for my "normal" posting time - 

But better late than never - LOL - ;))

No sewing again -

 
 
But we did play with the puzzle some more - 
 


 
Until we got bored and set it aside - 
 
And pulled out another one - 
 
Fortune Deer - 2000 pieces - 
 
With letters on the back for twelve Sections -
A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H-I-J-K-L-

 
My daughter finished Section C - 

 
I'm still working on Section D - 

 
But I had to stop - 
 
Because it was getting late - 
 
And I had to take some photos to post - LOL - ;))

A few more -

 
 
Layouts -

For my Upstairs/Downstairs - Bali Pops - Sherbet -
 



 
And a few more sections partly done on the puzzle - 


 
Tomorrow is another day - LOL - ;))

Puzzle time -

 
 
Is fun time - ;))
 
 
Since there are 2000 pieces in this puzzle - 
 
And no letters on the back to identify which "section" has which piece -
 
We decided to sort some pieces by "thing" instead of  "color" - 
 
And it seems to be working much better - 
 

We identified several "things" that we wanted to play with first - 
 
And set aside other "things" to play with later - 
 
Then my daughter worked on the "flower truck" - 
  

While I worked on some of the "street" - 
The "grill of the blue truck" - 
Some "words" and  the "awning" edges - 
 
Meanwhile - 
 
Echo made herself comfortable - LOL - ;))

Layouts -

 
 
Are always fun - 
 
Because there is really no WRONG way to do it - ;))
 
This is my first one - up on the design wall - 
 
 
And this is my second one - 
 
I switched the two "lime green" rows - 
 
Rearranged a couple of other rows - 
 
And filled in some of the top spaces - 
 
But I don't like all of the light blues so close together -
 
So I will probably move more around tomorrow - 

 
The design wall only holds five columns of six -
So there will be one more column on the right in the final layout - 
 
And the bottom row only has one block pinned to the wall -
In the bottom left corner - 
So that row will be complete - later - 
The final layout will be 6 across and 8 down - total 48 blocks -
 
I played with all of that - 
 
While Echo "rested" - LOL - ;))

Backing -

 
 
Is done for my Harmonic Convergence  - 
From the book - Ricky Tims' Convergence Quilts
 
All two acres of it - LOL - 
 
 
It's big enough to give me some extra on all sides -
 
When I go to layer it - then quilt it - 

 
Next up - 
 
I pressed all of the blocks -

For my Upstairs/Downstairs - Bali Pops - Sherbet -
 
And will play with the layout tomorrow - 
 

 
Puzzle-wise - 
 
This one doesn't have any "letters" on the back - 
 
To tell us which piece goes in which section - 
 
So it's going to take us a while - with 2000 pieces to sort through - 
 
But we did manage to put together some bits and pieces - 
 
Some more of the sky - 

 
And some "words" - 



 
And today Echo had a bath - 
 
And had her hair brushed -
 
And they even  put a bow in her hair - LOL - 
 

So she had to sit for a picture - 
 
To show you how pretty she is - ;))

Binding -

 
 
Is done for my Harmonic Convergence  - 
From the book - Ricky Tims' Convergence Quilts
 
All 200 miles of it - LOL -
 
 
And the backing needs only one more seam - 
 
To sew on the last panel - 
 
So I should be able to finish that tomorrow - 

 
Then we finished -
The King - 
Buffalo Games - 1000 pieces -

 
And got most of the border put together for our next one - 

 
Country Delivery - 
Buffalo Games - 
2000 pieces - 

 
We're missing some pieces - 

 
But they should be in there -
 
Somewhere - LOL - ;))
