Welcome!! I agree with you -- folks should be more careful when they write directions and they should always have someone else make the quilt. I recently bought a very expensive (for me) book on making handbags. Every pattern in the book skipped steps at an important point in the description. This is one reason why I rarely use patterns -- I draft my own and work out the construction myself and save the $$.

Good morning and welcome from Illinois. Have fun and enjoy and yes, it is very frustrating to find mistakes in a purchased pattern. Did you contact the pattern maker and complain and point out the mistake(s). My friend had that problem working on a block of the month from McCall's Quilting Magazine and she contacted them and the next month, they posted a correction and also emailed her the corrected pattern.
