Technically this first picture was taken on June 1, 2008 but that's because we were working until midnight on 5/31/08. Therefore, for technical purposes, I'll go ahead and post this picture on the 6/01/08 posting. The night before we completed the "picture" portion of the puzzle and started in on the border. This was our progress when we were done:
This is where we were after our session on 6/01/08. I was the one who asked to call it quits as I was so frustrated. We completed the bottom border line with the pieces that are all the same color. From the picture that came with the puzzle we know this is the bottom left quadrant of the complete puzzle, therefore the edge pieces should go on the bottom. I started that task and realized quickly that none of the border pieces fit. Jen investigated further and realized that there's actually TWO layers of the bluish-purple pieces on the bottom. I got irritated and needed to walk away. Just for the night though! We'll pick up again sometime this week.
Oh, and for fun, I've finally updated our profile picture. We haven't had a chance to take a picture of us together, and I'm glad we waited. On our heads are our "Puzzle Lights"!! We've had major issues (okay, I'm the one with the issues) with the lighting and it being hard to see. Someone gave us the idea of flashlights you wear on your head, and wah-lah! Here they finally are, 60 hours into the puzzle. We truly have learned so much from this first quadrant. It'll make the next 3 go very smoothly.
