Another jigsaw on the go

I finished my last jigsaw in record time but I had done it before which always helps. I brought this one called 'Tapestry Cat' home from the clubhouse but I think it might be a while before I’m able to return it. I usually start with the edge pieces but it’s all so symmetrical that I think the edge is going to be real challenge. I might be better off to start with something more in the middle of the picture; something which isn’t duplicated. What do you think?

I always do the edge. At least when they have edges

. Then I think I would do the frame around the cat.

I've started on the edge. I was going to do the frame first but then decided that would be just as complicated as the edge.

It looks like fun. I always start with the edges.

I've started with the edges too. And I've separated out all the frame bits too that go just inside the edges.

This one looks very hard to make to me.

@JudyEv - This is also my opinion. I always start doing the edges, but here it looks very hard.

@LadyDuck I've managed to get the frame done and now I'm working on the next row which has what looks like a chain. It's slow work!

I think having so much the same round the edges will make it a bit difficult.

I hope so! I've got the edges underway now.

@DaddyEvil I've done the border right round. I'll start on the cat next.

That’s a good point. Maybe start with the tail

It's going to be a bit tricky I think. I've actually started with the edges after all.

Ooh, it’s pretty. I’m sure that edge is going to be a challenge, but it’ll certainly be beautiful when you’re finished!

It's nice, isn't it? And a bit different.

That's beautiful but also difficult. Maybe try and start with the face?

I've started with the edges after all. I keep coming across the ear bits so I might put those together as I find them.

That is a beautiful puzzle. I always begin with edges too but sometimes come across pieces that go together and will do so.

@JudyEv That is a great idea! I'm taking one of my granddaughters to the thrift store tomorrow and they always have puzzles. I'll see what they have.

@noni1959 I wash out the margarine tubs and keep them for sorting pieces in the beginning. I can sit in front of the TV and sort colours or whatever.

I do that too. I have a big board that I assemble it on and 6 or 8 place mats that I put other bits on; maybe all the red bits or flower bits or whatever.

It looks a real challenge. It is good you are up to that challenge which I am not!
