Elephants Never Forget

Heather has cut a series of lacy jigsaws (in which all the background has been removed) based on the illustrations of Molly MacLiving which have been very popular. The first was ‘All Cats’ which Heather has cut more than 25 times, with piece counts c150-300. Others in the series are ‘Dogs Galore’, ‘Elephants Never Forget’, Foxes, Orchestra, ‘Kitchen Garden’, ‘Flick of Hares’ and ‘Three Flamingos’.

I first noted this Elephant design in early 2017 (No619) and two more were made in spring 2022 (no c880). The design is semi-interlocking. The usual way to solve it is to isolate patterns and build the elephants, putting them into the larger design whenever you can. The interlocking of the elephants is through little knobs - there is a fair bit of play and moving chains is tricky.
