Default When the instructions are wrong

Yesterday morning I found three free patterns off Pinterest all from the same designer. Thought they would each make fast donation quilts so I printed them out, grabbed one that I knew I had fabric for and started on it. Simple two main blocks, although one block was was pieced. Made everything, and sewed them in rows only to find out when I added the next row the seams didn't match up. WHAT? How did that happen? Remeasured again, only to find out that the pieced block was 1/4" too long horizontally. Not my error, as they were cut right according to the instructions. but the designers error. Had to rip everything apart, cut the pieced blocks down and assemble again. I did check and couldn't find any corrections for the pattern. I've made notations on my print out in case I make it again....maybe this was why the pattern was free....LOL Anyone else have something simular happen like this?
