What will you encounter when you have made this King jigsaw puzzle?

I have placed the puzzle on a puzzle mat, so that I can store it in a bowl in between, a puzzle in the living room is not always handy. I turned the puzzle pieces over and placed them on the puzzle mat. I have not sorted by color. It will look like this, ready to start:

I then started laying the edges and then I laid a large part of the sky. So my start looked like this:

The big black boat in the water with the yellow rim was also easy to lay, so I collected and laid those pieces too. Then I laid the Amsterdam houses, but that was very difficult, they look very similar! At a certain point I always grabbed the door for each piece to lay, but even that was sometimes difficult to find! They are all very small images. The nice thing about this jigsaw puzzle is that you make nice progress, it is not too difficult. But there are many images that are very similar.

What striking items did I find at the King puzzle 1000 pieces 'King's Day' | King's Day'

I have explained a few striking and/or difficult items below. I ran into this while puzzling. Or I liked the elements in the puzzle, but mostly I found the elements below difficult when putting this jigsaw puzzle. Read on and see what I ran into!

Striking item at the King puzzle 1000 pieces 'King's Day' | King's Day' - The Starry Rains

The star showers were very difficult, you couldn't quite distinguish which pieces belonged to which star rain. At the top right you have 1 star rain and below that 2x smaller star rain.

Striking item at the King puzzle 1000 pieces 'King's Day' | King's Day' - The Lampposts

There are no fewer than four lampposts in this puzzle! Sometimes these lampposts are so small that you do not even recognize the lampposts on the pieces. It is also made difficult because there are still birds on the lampposts. And there are also more birds in this puzzle.....

Striking item at the King puzzle 1000 pieces 'King's Day' | King's Day' - The Long Stone Bridge

I only put the long stone bridge towards the end of the puzzle. I found these pieces very difficult, because they are very similar. In addition, this bridge is still very long, and it runs through the entire puzzle. I just put this one last.

Striking item at the King puzzle 1000 pieces 'King's Day' | King's Day' - The many Dutch flags

There are many Dutch flags on the puzzle. At some point I collected all the valg pieces together and then started laying the flags. Only later was I able to put the flags in the right place in the puzzle. I didn't count them exactly, but I think there are about 30 flags on the puzzle.

Striking item at the King puzzle 1000 pieces 'King's Day' | King's Day' - The many Amsterdam houses

Fairly in the beginning of the jigsaw puzzle I put the houses in Amsterdam, but only towards the end of the puzzle I could completely finish it. It is very difficult to see which windows belong to which house. It's also all very small. But in the end doable!

Striking item at the King puzzle 1000 pieces 'King's Day' | King's Day' - All people on top of the bridge

A lot of people and very small drawn are all the people on the bridge in Amsterdam. They have a beautiful Queen's Day and sometimes they are very special dressed. And clearly they are having a lot of fun!

The puzzle has a size of 68 centimeters (width) by 49 centimeters (height). That is actually the standard size of a 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle.

How long does it take to complete the King puzzle King's Day | King's Day 1000 pieces to lay?

I put King's jigsaw puzzle about the Amsterdam King's Day all by myself. I completed the puzzle over several days. I started by laying out all the puzzle pieces on a puzzle mat (puzzle mat measures 1,60 meters (wide) by 90 centimeters high - this is a Jumbo puzzle mat).

These pieces are not sorted by color but just explained and then I started to lay the edges. Over time, the puzzle then looked like this:

In the end it took me 13 hours. I kept track of time whenever I was on it. I made this puzzle in April 2020.
In between, we rolled it up a few more times in a puzzle mat:

And, of course, rolled back:
