When looking for the next puzzle to assemble, I found this little gem hiding in the back row of one of my shelves. It’s a thrift store puzzle that mom bought for us sometime last year. After assembling Quilt Blocks earlier this month, I was so pleased to find another quilt puzzle here ready for me to get going on it.
Most of the time I find that Eric Dowdle’s artwork makes for difficult puzzles, and this one is no different. It’s a bit challenging, but what else do I have to do with my time these days? A difficult assembly keeps me intensely focused on what I’m doing; and with that intense focus comes an almost meditative state where the next piece, a certain shape, or that one color is all I’m thinking about.
Jigsaw puzzles give me a welcome respite from thinking and worrying, which I seem to be doing a lot of these days. Each puzzle waiting to be assembled is hours and hours of down time for my brain – best hobby ever!
Puzzles rock! 🧩🤘

I’m usually not a fan of his work, a little dark for me. I really like this one though and I’m a sucker for quilt puzzles. Each completed quilt is a little surprise.
I agree, this is a nice break from all the stress. I turn off the news, put on my favorite oldies and puzzle the day away.

I like his work, just not necessarily for puzzling. But I agree, this one is bright and the quilts make it lots of fun.
Puzzling the day away – sounds like perfection to me! 🙂
