It's very typical for a kit to contain a different set of fabrics than seen in the pattern, also typical to have only one picture of the finished quilt in the directions. Modifications for different sizes are sometimes given, but other kinds of modifications are usually not. Also many patterns unfortunately have mistakes, and corrections aren't often available. So yes, what you got is the norm - except for the price, which might be lower than normal, depending on the size of the quilt. I might add that all this is typical for any kit, not just those custom built by a quilt shop. The worst thing I've run into in a kit is not having enough fabric, and that has been very rare.
