Assembly

Since this was 300 pieces I did not sort for colors but simply laid them out on the poster board.

I worked the border first then assembled the ice cream cones by colors leaving the brown cones for last.

I have been doing Sure-lox jigsaw puzzles for quite some time now. They are known for great images but the jigsaw puzzle board material used is most often thinnish and sometimes the cut is loose. 

However! This Ice Cream Cones Collage Jigsaw Puzzle has the extra large pieces and the quality is the best I have seen for this brand. You can see in the close up photos below just how thick the pieces are. They are not 'really really' thick but better than the smaller piece jigsaw puzzles they produce.

They claim the 'pieces fit snuggly together for the perfect fit' which is true as long as the pieces are lying flat. You would not want to try to move it like some other jigsaw puzzles brands -- and that means when moving sections while assembling it too.

Comments

The artwork is by Alix Mullins whose states on her website that she is "creating visual magic to take you somewhere special" is actually true when you think about it. Doing the most colorful images of ice cream cones I have seen constantly drew me to thinking of how delicious they would taste.

When you visit her website you will see the magnificent artwork she has created.  She truly does take you somewhere special. See the following close up photos of how perfect these ice cream cones blend together.

This one I have to highly recommend for a super fun quick fix experience. It also goes with the season which is now upon us in the western world. It may only be 300 pieces but it is very appealing for adult puzzlers who can manage the large size pieces much easier than some of the small pieces that are being cut in random shapes.

I am in the process of recording all my past jigsaw puzzles that I still have for my walls and all my current puzzles.
