The thing about this puzzle is that the pieces vary greatly in size. There are precious few "usual" puzzle shapes. Look closely at the photo. I had to change my thinking about how puzzle pieces are "supposed to" fit together before things start falling into place. It's not a grid like typical puzzles.
It turns out that after putting the border and printed words together, I ended up making the puzzle from the center out, starting with the deep blue. Then I was able to find homes for the pieces by constantly turning the puzzle in circles as the puzzle grew from blues to oranges and browns.
It's a really good challenge of a puzzle without being too hard or frustrating. Dale and I were still able to complete it in one day.
Bonus: it makes for an excellent bearded googly monster if you turn it bottom's up and add some eyes.
