Another √6-scaled fractal self-replicating tile. This one is based on a rhombic grid in which the grid cells have diagonals measuring 1 and √15/3.

Emily Groshoz, a poet and philosopher who was a member of the Bridges community, passed away on May 2nd. You can read one of her math-inspired poems, "In Praise of Fractals", here: mathartfun.com/fractaldiver...
Using square- or triangle-based grids, there are no overlapping transformations of the grid for n = 6. By distorting a grid, for example stretching a square grid by √2, n=6 becomes allowed. Here a hexa-rectangle is used to form a fractal self-replicating tile.
