I looked up Batik Beauty on Google, and found many patterns. Are you talking about a specific pattern?

It would be FABULOUS in purple, but I truely hate making flying geese.

(Quilt-T) The closest free block I could think of is the Fox and Geese block. One would have to replace the corner HSTs with a square in a sq or 2 flying geese going to opposite directions. Just an idea to work with.

Oh, that is so pretty, and would look great in purples. For me, it has too many flying geese. I love the look, but not the doing. I can never get any 2 the same size no matter what way I make them.

Grammy! I'm sorry the book is "Batik Beauties". The pattern is Mystique of Bali. Yolanda

I have the book with the pattern. From the replies I have gotten, I am thinking this may be too difficult for me at this time. Thanks to everyone for your input. Yolanda

I use the squareinasquare system by Jodi Barrows. Perfect every time.

Here are a couple of great flying geese tutorials. I really like the second one best:
