I did my usual sorting routine.

1. Sorting to locate all  the outside border pieces, while....
2. Placing the pieces into the 'general-color' piles. 
3. Then I carried on with a second round of sorting (similar colors sorted by shades/patterns) while placing the pieces flat out on the poster boards. 

I sorted out all the pieces that appeared to have an edge and then 'weeded' out the pieces that did not fit the border colors  and put them back into the non-edge pile.

The border required looking at the edges on the box image. The random shaped pieces were also helpful.

The image to the right gives a great visual for starting the puzzle.

I started with the largest text pile, in this case the word Spring so then the second text size was "The Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady".

From there I would source out the largest details in the image like the rabbit, butterflies, birds  and outstanding colored flowers/leaves.

The rest of the assembly would be putting together many small sections then placing them into the area of the puzzle where they are situated on the image. Eventually areas began to connect. The smallest text was placed into position second last to assist with the connections leaving basically the leaves. So the brown/green/gold/red leaves would prove to be the trickiest to the end.
