I think any time you get a kit & no instructions, that makes no sense at all, & should not be legal for any company to do, not to mention, it's just not good practice. Now one time, I participated online in one shop's free block giveaway, to make a quilt, right? Well, you get all done collectining blocks, then to for the finishings instructions, they want to charge you! Oh well, so much for a free quilt design, right! Another ripoff in my book & I wrote the shop & told them so too!....
