Fractal Triangle - Recursion To Make Children Triangles

I have a FractalGUI and a FractalTriangle class. The FractalTriangle class is what does a lot of the work, it uses ATriangle(s) to make a triangle, and it uses recursion to draw three children triangles along each parent triangle. Fractal Triangle has a method "makeTriangle" private ATriangle makeTriangle( Point p0, Point p1 ) which takes the ATriangles and sets them the right size and everything, but for some reason I can only get one level of children triangles, and they are also already their upon running which they shouldn't be, they should appear when the depth is 2. When the depth is three it should add three triangles each onto the three added at depth two. At depth 4 it should add three each onto the three previously made triangles, and so on until depth reaches 6, the max depth. Here is some code of my FractalTriangle.

The Atriangle class given to us ("starter code") does not extend or implement anything, and has basic methods (setLocation, setSize, setThickness, setColor, etc. )

//---------------- class variables ------------------------------
//---- recursive generation parameters
public static double sizeRatio = 0.5; // integer represent %
public static double offset = 0.5; // offset/100 = parametric value
// child positioning offset
public static double p2projection = 0.5;
// parametric value of projection of
// vertex p2 onto the base; can be < 0
public static boolean outside = true;

[code]....

the way it looks without the recursion looks much more right, but I am supposed to have recursion in that constructor but I can't figure out how to get it right with the recursion. It's so weird how with the recursion the big red triangle ( base triangle ) disappears, and you can see the children are really really small.
