Completing the Puzzle – December 2024

It took me more than a month to finish the four puzzles I got as my Completing the Puzzle subscription for December. I finally finished the fourth one last night.

Rooster from Cloudberries, 1000 pieces

Common Quilt Block Patterns from Cobble Hill, 1000 pieces

New York City Life from eeBoo, 1000 pieces

50 States Quilt Blocks from Cobble Hill, 1000 pieces

I enjoyed all four of them, even though the two quilt block puzzles were very similar. The New York puzzle had one piece missing on the upper left corner, but the 50 States puzzle came with an extra piece form some other puzzle, so I guess it all evened out! I will send the extra piece back in a separate bag with a note so the staff can look for where it goes.

I have 12 more puzzles on my wish list at Completing the Puzzle, so I’m planning to keep my subscription for another 3 months at least. I’m not guaranteed to get puzzles from my wish list, but so far all the ones I have gotten were from there.

Poolside

Poolside from Cloudberries is a 1000-piece puzzle, and the artist is Matt Lyon. This is my first experience with this company. I have been interested in the particular puzzle for quite a while and finally added it to my collection.

I was nervous that it might be difficult, but it was actually quite fun. It has a lot going on to provide an interesting puzzle experience. At the end, I did have a number of solid pink and blue pieces that I had to sort by shape and try one by one, but there really weren’t too many of those.

The image was very crisp, the fit was good, and the puzzle has a nice matte finish. It also came with a very large poster that my cat was intrigued by and kept wanting to walk on! My friend Renee said that the image reminded her of Florida, which I thought was apt.

I would definitely do more from this brand. Highly recommend!
