Have run into this a number of times. I started making a sample of the block (or blocks) out of a different fabric to make sure everything was going to go together. I have bought those patterns in plastic bags and there are only a couple of pages of directions -- the rest went missing somewhere. Went back to the shop and they checked the rest of their stock and all were missing the middle pages. Took several months to get the missing pages. This is why I rarely buy kits or individual patterns -- and I always open the patterns at checkout to make sure all the pages are there.
