Colorful Quilts Puzzle

 I finished a puzzle that I started before I got sick. For most of that time I couldn't bear to look at it. It's called "Colorful Quilts."

I actually bought this puzzle because I thought it looked colorful and fun. It was not fun. It has the same problems as this puzzle that I did in 2021.

They both look colorful when completed, but when you are looking at the individual pieces the effect is muddy. The puppy puzzle was totally awful to complete.

This puzzle wasn't quite that bad, but I had to do the last 100 or so pieces totally by shape. And the pieces were too similar so that sometimes you thought a piece was correct and then later found out it wasn't. If the pieces had been bigger, it would probably have been OK.

And... this was a brand new puzzle in a sealed box, and in a plastic bag inside that, and it has 3 pieces missing.

The brand is Ceaco. You might want to avoid it, which is too bad becase it's made in the USA.

Today wasn't bad, but I was tired again. I was going to walk before bell practice, but it is very cold outside, and I was tired, so I'll walk tomorrow. I have to go to town again anyway. I'm going to bed early.
