This snowflake is recursive tiling that adds 60-120 diamonds on 0.57735 (square root of 1/3) scale on each layer. The recursion is that two smaller and paler diamonds are placed over the far two edges of each diamond. I started with a six-pointed star of six blue diamonds.

The limit of a single layer of diamonds as the diamonds get smaller would be a fractal with Haar dimension 1.26 (exactly ln(4)/ln(3), the same as a fudgeflake). However, the snowflake retains each layer, and individual layers are two-dimensional, so the snowflake is also two-dimensional.

I drew it with Inkscape.

Thank you.

Having helped Frostmuffin with a few quilts, I know what a pain little fiddly bits are. But cutting cloth diamonds is easier than hexagons.

yay! snowflake! And I agree. Fiddly bits are a pain for a quilt. But much is possible.
