This happened to me last Christmas when I was making a pattern that was included in a quilt kit. It was a free pattern from the Robert Kaufman site. Fortunately, I realized the cutting instructions weren't right before I cut anything. I went to the Robert Kaufman site and pulled up the free pattern on my computer. There had been changes since the quilt kit had been assembled. I also went to the quilt designer's website and there was a version of the same pattern and that pattern actually turned out to have all the correct instructions.
