I should've put something in the photo to show scale: this tiny wall quilt is about 9 inches on each side.

Very pretty!

IN caes any of these inspire other quilts from you, there are a bunch of other ways to tile the plane with regular polygons here (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_tilings_of_convex_regular_polygons)

Oooh, lots of good ideas there!
I've also recently acquired the [out of print] Handbook of Regular Patterns, which also has lots of ideas for quilts -- but not a lot of tilings, so there's not much overlap with the Euclidean ones in your link.

Hmm, can my little quilt be both Archimedean and Euclidean?

I made the little triangular quilt mainly to teach myself a technique called English paper piecing. I have a commission to make a queen size quilt in the style(s) of Moroccan tilework, and I'd hoped that EPP would be a good way to do some of that (http://bluemothdoings.blogspot.com/2015/03/more-moorish-patterns.html), but it's so time-consuming I think I'll keep looking into other techniques.
