EuroGraphics1000pcs - Almond Blossom by van Gogh

I have done many puzzles over the years, including double sided dalmations, smarties, all red vari pieces but I found this one so hard. I did complete it but it took me a couple of months as I could only face it every now and again, sometimes only managing 2 pieces in 30 minutes. I actually found the plain blue easier than the branches and blossom. Luckily I have a couple of Jumbo, Puzzle Mates, Portapuzzle (both 1000 and 1500) and ended up using all four mats from both puzzles to sort the pieces into dark blue, light blue, branches, white flowers and pale green flowers.If you want a particularly difficult puzzle, then this is for you. If new to puzzles, this may put you off doing puzzles for life, lol.I must admit though that I did feel proud of myself for finishing it.

Not for someone who wants an easy puzzle. The pieces are each uniquely cut and the edges don’t line up. It was a very satisfying challenge. Initially I thought the print quality was appalling but actually it’s quite good (could be a little better admittedly) but when the puzzle comes together it’s beautiful!

Would recommend this brand of puzzle as the quality is great. Was a challenge to start but really good to build. Loved the picture when built.would buy this brand again.great price too.

This is a very good puzzle if you want a challenge. It took me over 60 hours as the pieces do not conform to normal puzzles and rather than breaking it apart I got some puzzle sheets to keep it tog.ether and am now waiting for a frame to arrive so I can hang it.

This is a very high quality jigsaw, as you would expect from Eurographics. Personally I found the repetitive nature of the picture very frustrating and completing the jigsaw was less enjoyable than I would have liked. A very experienced puzzler might enjoy the challenge.
