For something different, put a puzzle together, then put a sealer-like verathane-on it. You can then put it on the wall, or use it under a piece of glass in a coffee table~

Thanks for that idea don't know why I haven't thought of it before :? Duuuuh!!! Now I have to figure out how to get the ones I have done off the cardboard so I can do them that way. But if I can't without messing them up.. :| I guess I will have to buy some new ones :thumbup: :D BillsBonBon

I LOL when I read this. Yes I love jig saw puzzels, crossword puzzels, matching games, etc. I never associated it to quilting, but I guess it makes sense.

My confession is that I stink at any math beyond the basics. I cannot do even the simplest sudoku puzzles, either. But I rule at jigsaws and crosswords lol.

Must be a direct relationship between quilting and jigsaw puzzles.

If you have all kinds that you have put together, why not donate them to a nursing home or senior citizen home? My mother lived in a high-rise and each floor had a puzzle going all the time. I give mine to a neighbor who takes them to work with her. She works at a nursing home.

Never thought about that! but in thinking about it, yes that does seem to be true. But then women have been known to be creaters of all sorts of things. Lol

I do. Not much on the seek a words, but love those crosswords.

So sorry, I read this wrong. Please forgive! I do like working puzzles too. Especially with friends and family.
