“Rainbow Birdies” by Cobble Hill: About the Puzzle
We hope you have fun discovering all the playful moments in this joyful neighborhood where every yard tells a story. It's a quilt-inspired birdhouse community with fun nods to puzzling and USA Jigsaw Nationals. If you're familiar with architecture, you may recognize the top left Franklin Lloyd Wright inspired Fallingwater home that, with the help of friends, brings bath water to the birdies. The cutaway home in the center is where Nationals flame crested birdies let loose, relax, and practice their puzzling skills. The cuckoo clock in the upper frame is set to 4 o'clock for the 4th Annual Speed Run.
