That left over piece looks like the makings of a purse/bag. Love the jacket.

I am going to make another in pastels and white to take on vacation in the summer. notes I wrote on pattern - eg., I drew vertical lines every 1/2" on the cotton to keep my vertical lines straight, and pressed all seams to one side - which was important, pressing each strip before I sewed on the next strip, and put in a zipper rather than buttons.
If you are interested - you can obtain the pattern at:

the pattern is called "Midnight Glacier - Bargello Jacket"
I will attach a pic from the first layout of materials (I laid strips of white paper where I added one strip of material to the next strip, didn't use this piece...hope this gives a little more clarity...Best of Luck

Trying to figure out the black strip about 2 strips away from zipper. Is that piping, ties hanging down?
