Section "A" of the 32000 piece puzzle "Double Retrospect" is complete.

Well, we're moving along now.  Not quite as fast as I was hoping though.  We did have about 8 days where we left on a Caribbean cruise for a vacation that we didn't work on the puzzle.  This section is the top-left corner section.  We continue to build new sections on top of already completed sections as this is the easiest and fastest way to assemble large puzzles.  I was thinking of putting together a couple videos to demonstrate our techniques for organizing pieces and using the previous section to help build the new one and how we flip the puzzle over to put the contact paper on the back.  Maybe I'll do that for the next section.  Here are some pictures from the assembly of section "A".

Sections B & C are done.  We are doing the top-left section.

Sorting by color is first.  We even create a color priority list because some pieces have multiple colors.

First was green and then pink.

Yellow was next.



Red pieces all sorted.  Notice how they are organized by how much black was on the piece.








All that's left is the white.


Sorted by shape.


Doing the white is all about finding the duplicates.

All done!
