Barn Quilts Puzzle Assembly

You will see the Barn Quilts puzzle comes with a full size poster which means the poster is the same size as the assembly area.  That tells you how much puzzling space you will need AND you have the option of assembling the puzzle pieces right on top of the poster. The puzzle pieces arrive in a sealed plastic bag however, upon completion, you can place the pieces into a quality  cloth bag that zips closed - very secure!

I must mention that I am using all Grateful House products with this review. Starting with the high quality grey mat. It lays out very flat and comes with the role-away function as you can see in the image to the right.  You can view my demo in the video.

Next, I am using the Grateful House sorting trays. I have tried and tested to see IF all the pieces could be laid out flat into the 8 trays. IF the lid is used to lay out the edge pieces, then yes, the other 8 trays will allow for the rest of the pieces to be laid out flat. See the images below.

The above images share my sorting process. I laid out all the trays around the box of pieces. I took handfuls of pieces and laid each one face up and according to the colours or patterns I placed them onto the trays. I was quite pleased they all fit.  The first image  below to the left shows there is zero puzzle dust indicating a nice clean cut of the pieces.

I only needed to work from the one tray that had the edge pieces, which meant I could hold it in my hand as it was not a large foam board like I have used in the past.

The border was completed quickly enough by joining the blues at the top and the greys/people at the bottom.

The other image below shows the large poster as compared to the actual border, puzzle box and trays on the grey mat.

So my work in progress started with the blue sky/grey base at the bottom, then moved onto the yellow, purple, and darker blue buildings. I then moved towards working patterns. That left the big fiery red trees, the roads between the buildings and the rooftop patterns.

Barn Quilts Puzzle Comments

The following is an example of the 'colour-match' between the puzzle pieces and the poster.  Often puzzlers will need to make this adjustment when assembling pieces according to the image.  Notice the different colour matched between the pieces/poster below.

The next section of images shares close up views of images, and you can see the clear image, the cut pattern and the quality of the pieces. These are important aspects of the puzzle and Grateful House passes a winner!

Grateful House Jigsaw Puzzles Quality Cut 

Below is a nice close up of the ways some pieces tips fit nicely into each other. The different shapes to the tips helps with the grid-like cut, so they are not too similar. Maybe it also helps with the interlocking as you can see below, I have been able to lift the entire puzzle without the pieces falling apart.

About Grateful House Products

I would be amiss if I did not share the added touch to Grateful House puzzles. The images below show the custom cloth bag for the puzzle with the name of the artist on the bag. The zipper is good quality and there is room for the pieces to fit neatly inside the bag.

Wait...there's more...

Inside the box of the jigsaw puzzle came the following details. There's a notice to contact them for missing or damaged pieces. There's a Scan code for a 3-month warranty, which also offers an entry for a free draw. Then the updated catalogue with their products and an invitation to join their Community in social media and Facebook Group.  They've got all that covered in one very well put together product. I can easily highly recommend them.
