Fishing nets between field and sky

Fishing nets between field and sky

Seven women stand across a grassy field, each carrying a triangular net. Their clothing makes a strip of small, distinct landmarks between the pale clouds and the long grass. The bright red clothes near the right and the green and purple in the centre make particularly useful colour groups.

In this 60-piece cut, a single piece can contain part of a shoulder, net and sky. Those crossings are easier to place than the repeated cloud shapes or a piece of grass on its own. The nets look similar at first glance, but their tips are at different heights and their edges lean at different angles.

A way to start

Start with a piece that shows red fabric and look for its neighbour along the yellow or green. Build a separate group where a diagonal net edge meets the blue sky. Check the reference for which way that edge leans before looking for the next piece.

Connect the figures first, then work into the grass from the lower edges of their clothing. Leave pieces with only grass or clouds until you can compare them with the gaps around the groups you have already made. On Easy, use Edge help if you want to set out the frame first.
