Puzzle #52 - MasterPieces Belle Vue Paris Rooftop View - 1000 pieces

Puzzle #52 of 2023
Finished October 2, 2023

This was such an important puzzle for me to complete.  I had stopped short once before and hated that.  I finally decided I was ready to try it again... here are my notes. 

Okay, going to attempt this one again.  This was the 'did not finish' that broke my heart.  I had several pieces sort of still intact in the box and laid them out.  Working on it now and it really is a tough one!  The sides are so close to being identical and that is tough!  Also, the pieces aren't really distinct in their cut so it isn't always obvious when a pieces fits and when it doesn't.  But I am determined to finish this puzzle this time around.  I have a feeling it will end up being a 'sort by shape and slug it out' kind of a deal... but time will tell.  :)



MasterPieces truly does have the very best posters of any company out there!










I thought I had an extra piece and even took my final photos. Then realized, as I was about to box it up  that no, this piece had a place!  ha!  It is quite obvious in this photo below.  I think I was just done with this puzzle!  ha!





Well, I got it done.  finally.  It was very tough.  And I am glad to have it behind me.  And also feeling quite happy to have completed it.  The pieces were not well cut so didn't fit together well.  I feel like this was a not great representation of MasterPieces... I haven't been as bothered by their poor cut before.  But this one was not good.  I guess a more difficult puzzle doesn't do well with the slightly lower quality of MasterPieces puzzles.  Too bad.  And lesson learned.  But I will always love that large poster!  Image by David Maclean.


So here are the new photos with ALL the pieces in place!  :)
