Tilings with Fractal Perimeters

Construction

We will construct a figure based on a hexagon.
Draw the construction lines lightly because they will be erasedas the drawing progresses.

First, construct a hexagon and draw perpendicular bisectors of its sides.
Next we construct a kite similar to those making up the hexagon.
Now we construct three kites congruent to the smaller one.
Repeating this process, here is the second stage of the construction.
Here we build the first kite of the third stage.
Now build three more kites congruent to this kite.
Repeat this process for another kite.
Next, fill in the gap that appears.
Continuing in this fashion we get the third stage.
Here is Robert Fathauer's drawing with many stages completed.
