I think the article is talking about people who insist on finishing all of the border first before they even start working on the rest. Personally, recalling from the few times I did a jiggsaw, I start with the border too, but I never complete it. I might if I had the patience, but I just don’t. I work my way through detail-rich areas of the image where it’s easy to see which pieces go where. That organic growth is the gratifying part. The large flat-coloured areas where you have to guess more than arrange are always last and completed far more lackadaisically than the rest.

The article does have a point in that, upon reflection, this mirrors the way I generally approach any project quite well.

Makeshifts last the longest.
