Friendly place to discuss jigsaw puzzles and share pictures of jigsaw puzzles you have completed. Please do not keep posting the same jigsaw puzzle over and over again or puzzles other people completed. If you do a jigsaw puzzle a second time, you can post it again but wait about 30 days between posts and let everyone know you did it again.

Be sure to list the name (if known) jigsaw puzzle brand, piece count. If you want to remark on quality, artist or degree of difficulty it is ok too.

The only time I might downvote or remove a post or comment is if it is inappropriate. I fully understand and appreciate that not all of us have the same skill levels, financial or physical ability or the same amount of time to devote to doing jigsaw puzzles. Therefore I always upvote every puzzle posted, even if may not be one I truly like.

Please be nice, no abusive comments

It takes awhile at the beginning to sort all the pieces but I find it really makes the rest of the puzzle more enjoyable.

I try to sort by object. In this one there is a tray each for: Border pieces, Sky, dirt road, mountains, horses, stagecoach, etc.

I try my best but there are sure to be a lot of pieces in the wrong tray since many of the colors show up in more than one object but we'll cross that bridge when we get there.

The main idea was to isolate the border pieces since that where I traditionally start. Although now I start at the top and work my way down to save back strain from standing over the puzzle
