Garden stars- Robert Kaufman quilt instruction help
Have you done this quilt? It is made of the Robert Kaufman Pristine 3 line. The finished blocks are 18." Looking at the first completed block and the second completed block, the items labeled g and h are different sizes. For example h in the first block is 3 1/2 and h in the second block is 4 3/4. G is in the first block 3 1/2 and in the second g is both 3 1/2 and 4 3/4 triangles.
I'm not that experienced and I've never done a kit before. I like the fabric, but the directions aren't clear to me.
Is it me? Thanks for looking and any help.

I believe the letters are referring to FABRIC not size/shape of block. If you go to the cutting page, it the fabrics labeled from A to H. Hope this helps.
It is always a good idea to check the amounts of fabric provided in a kit, against the amount listed on the pattern, just in case a mistake has been made. You can then also see how each fabric is used in the pattern. Pretty pattern. Which colourway did you choose?

I agree with GingerK; the letters are referring to the fabric. If you look on page 3 of the pattern, where the cutting instructions are, it assigns each fabric a letter. So instead of saying "make two 3.5" squares using the purple fabric" it says "make two 3.5" squares of fabric H".
Writing a pattern this way makes it easier to substitute fabrics, if you don't want to use the same colorway.
