Great 1000 Piece starter
I do several 1000 piece puzzles a month and on my last run to buy puzzles I picked this one up to do for inauguration day 2009.

Putting together the puzzle is very quick. I got it done in 7 hours. (over 100 pieces per hour!).

The image consists of several quotes layered in the background from Mr. Obama's victory speech.

It was inspiring to work on because to complete the sentences I had to keep repeating the sentences to place the pieces properly. It was great!

The borders and all of the blank pieces that run around the sides and up at the top was the most frustrating part. There are three layers deep of blank similar pieces up at the top. I did the border edges last for this reason.

Also, the pieces are cut to fit very loosely. They don't go in very snug so there was a bit of second guessing. If you have pets or plan to transfer the puzzle to another board, be careful!

The image and the layering of the quote text that you can't quite see unless you have the pieces in front of you makes it very simple, fun to do, inspiring and with a rewarding finish.

I've rated the educational value based on the quotes holding historic significance.

For anyone intimidated to do a 1000 piece puzzle I'd definitely recommend this one as a starter. I don't think I've done one of this size with that kind of detail that quickly.

Enjoy!
