The Country Truck in Spring is a 500 piece Cobble Hill jigsaw puzzle with great quality pieces. And look at those adorable puppies. All those flowers and eggs look like they are headed to the market. Even the cows in the green pasture is nice touch. Country Truck in Spring Amazon link

I did not do my usual sorting routine as this is 500 pieces. It's quite multi-coloured so no real large clumps of colours or text. These puzzles come with a very nice quality poster as you can see in the image to the right and shown with the border image completed below. There is no glare on it. |
When it came to the border, I lined up the pieces as best I could with the colours. The border was not difficult and the shapes of the pieces really helped too. |
After I assembled the work-in-progress pieces in the above image from there I moved onto the blue truck and flowers shown to the right. The puppies and flowers were completed last. |
I started with the most prominent colours being the greens and white fence. I picked out the flag-banner at the top pretty easily. |
The following images show close ups of the style of the cut. The cut was not loose and fit quite nicely. The pieces are easily handled as they are twice the size of the traditional jigsaw puzzles and the width/length measurements are the same measurements as the 1000 pieces jigsaw puzzles.
The Country Truck in Spring jigsaw puzzle is another Cobble Hill Creation which is done 'in-house'. I have assembled many of these over time and one of my most favourites is the Cat Library jigsaw puzzle. I can only imagine how much fun that one was to create.
There is a non-glare matte finish is on the Cobble Hill puzzles. They feel so nice when my hands do the 'once-over' upon completion of the puzzles. This was a delightful puzzle session.
