Now we have order once more.....this is the jigsaw with number 3 at the centre. Notice how only the very centre green point of 3 is a different shape.....all the other parts of the jigsaw are made up of just one shape turned in various directions. I realised later that I should have used colours that were very different from each other as some colours a a little bit too alike.
Once you start with the smaller part at centre you can expand outwards forever with the pieces in different colours. Each colour represents a number in Nine Star Ki. In certain positions the pieces can only be one way so its not as simple as it looks the wider you expand the puzzle the more patterns within the Nine Star Ki you will find. This one is starting to push out to the North but the jigsaw only runs for as long as you have pieces. One pattern you can see at this point which will tell you if you have gone wrong is that the Dark Green Number 3 pieces should form a pattern of 9 parts around the centre piece. You can clearly see the nine green parts around the centrepiece if you don't see it you have gone wrong. You will see that pattern expanding outwards as you go so you have some help in knowing if you go wrong. If you have enough pieces you can build this from Land’s End to John O’Groats..........have fun x
