I think this is exactly what happened and it has the potential of happening with more complex paper pieced projects too. When printing the downloaded pdf, make sure "Actual size" is checked or if that option isn't there make sure there's nothing that says "Shrink to fit page" or similar.
This is exactly why when I published a pattern earlier this month, I did NOT offer a template.

The really great part about PP is that it can be really basic and easy - like the shapes you're making - all the way to very complex and photograph like. It can grow with you and so far (to me anyway) it seems pretty limitless.
