pojo, there are no emails that get sent out for this mystery. You just have to go to the site and check. The dates/times to check were listed. I'm pretty sure it said the instructions would be available for free though Jan 3rd, so they need to be printed before then. At least this is easy to print out as it's only basic instructions and not much else.

Pojo, it doesn't come to you, you have to go to IT. You are supposed to go to MM's website to get the clues every hour.
I don't know how long she plans to leave it up, but it is still up now. Here is the link right to the clue page.

Links to clues #1 - #7 are at the bottom of the page.
When I saw the pattern come together, I wasn't really a fan, but the design has grown on me! Mine is so scrappy that I'll probably use white or black for sashing.

I've got my sashing sewn on (two sides) and the next step is to lay them out and decide on location. While they are scrappy, with the cross pieces all being the same I want to make sure I don't have all the green ones in the same place, or something like that. I decided to make my cornerstones light scrappy instead of a constant too. I am really liking this pattern now that I'm putting the blocks together. I think I'd like to do it in colorways - ie using all one color for each block, but with different shades and with the shades in different locations.
