Default Beware of pattern!!

I have embarked on a new project that I saw on this board. It is a quilt that was named jelly roll starburst by Kimberly E...forget the spelling of the last name. I thought that it was a nice looking quilt that I could use for my cancer quilt in June. I cut all of the pieces at home in January and have started to work on it in my RV. I am in Miami at this time. So...I started attempting to sew my pieces together and they WOULD Not match up. I measured, measured checked everything to make sure I did not mess up the cutting. I did not. My pieces are exactly as the pattern states. I complained to another quilter that is also staying at this campground. We sat for a long time with the pieces, pattern and measures. We finally agreed that there is no way this quilt can be made with these directions. So now, necessity being the mother of invention...I am creating another quilt using all the pieces that I have cut. So beware of free patterns. And big question...has anyone made this quilt? Did my instruction get messed up in the download? Thanks for reading. I will post a picture of what I come up with for this quilt! Frustrating!
