Spring Quilt

 BCB Puzzles, 400 pieces. An image with a lot of stuff going on, and some internal color line cutting that is a bit unusual for a BCB. 3/5

Jasamine Becket-Griffith, Alice in a Klimt Dream

 BCB Puzzles, 150 pieces. Small and colorful! 3/5

Under the Sea

 Biglands, 175 pieces. Formerly BCB, still high-quality--this is a Teaser-style puzzle that was probably about two swords' worth of difficulty, with larger teaser pieces than Stave usually has. 4/5

The Jazz Frog Choir, Miko

 BCB Puzzles, 250 pieces. There are actually some subtle color changes here, despite the division between the top and bottom. 3/5

Steele Briggs Seed Catalog 1898

 BCB Puzzles, 161 pieces. Very nice small puzzle in BCB's round-knob style. 3/5

The Hat Shop

 BCB Puzzles, approx. 150 pieces. Challenging Teaser-style puzzle despite the fact that there aren't ultimately a huge number of dropouts between the whimsy pieces. 3/5

Smellin' Good

 BCB Puzzles, 150 pieces. A relatively simple Teaser-style puzzle, with large pieces. 6/10

Wishes, Eduardo Calzado (metallic)

 BCB, approx. 400 pieces. The metallic paper gives a bit of a sheen to the image, which is challenging because of the areas of similar color that blend slowly into other colors. I had success taking an area at a time. I enjoyed it! 4/5

Teapot and Teacups

 BCB, 150-ish? A nice Teaser-style puzzle with Teaser pieces much larger than the other pieces for easy handling. 4/5

A Basket of Bunnies

 BCB, approx. 120 pieces. Fun teaser-style puzzle with larger than average teaser pieces. 6/10 Stave scale.

This may show up behind a cut--we'll see!

Karen Tarlton, Peacock Dance

 BCB Puzzles, 400 pieces. Beautiful image, very difficult because of color continuity through large chunks of puzzle--it varies when assembled but that's a bit harder to see at the piece level. 4/5

Granny's Attic

 BCB Puzzles, no piece count given. This Teaser-style puzzle hit me as about equivalent to three swords; the frame gave very few immediate clues, but it worked out in the end. 6/10 very good fun

The Iris Garden

 BCB Puzzles, 190 pieces. A "Bamboozle," BCB's version of a Teaser. This was fun--like a Stave, it kept me working for the last few pieces. 7/10 Stave scale.
