Here is how my work table looked last Friday with all the blocks from step #1 sewn, and the blocks from step #2 cut out. I used the old fashioned way of adding the triangles to the end of the rectangles (which was Bonnie's method #3 in the pattern).
The worst part of this step was marking 400 lines on triangles.
(I drew the second line on every square so I could get the bonus HST's to play with)
But you know Bonnie's motto - NO whining! So, I won't! I marked the lines while watching endless Christmas movies on the Women's TV Network and it was actually fun.
I have a few double diamond blocks finished. Here are the first 16 arranged in a fun layout. I plan to be finished all the blocks by Friday's reveal of step #3.

Your double diamond blocks look like Neapolitan ice cream!
You are doing a great job at keeping up. Your sample layout looks great - maybe a new quilt design in the works?
You have some great units here! Wonderful colours!
Ice cream and a new quilt layout! You are doing great keeping up with the clues. I am really liking how your fabrics are playing in the mystery.
Great fabrics! I can't wait to see how yours comes out!
I am right there behind you...started on clue 2 and doing bonue triangles too! Hoping to be done by Friday!?!?!
You are doing a lovely job on the mystery.
Your pieces look more like candy than mine. I need to find a Brach's candy aisle. I'm doing #3 method too. Best of luck getting done by Clue #3. I'll be stitching still.
Lookin' good. Love your fabric choices!
