I heard a rumor about scrap piles have a non shrinking clause or contract of some kind. I think it is a conspiracy theory that never got debunked by a professional . Just sayin!!

I'm working on one of these too but my triangles look sort of stubby/chubby compared to yours. What size are your squares? I like those longer triangles.
