The purses/totes are made with 2 1/2" strips. You could use precut strips from a jelly roll or bali pop.
The 10 Strip Wonder Bag pattern gives directions for a bag made of 10 strips using the lining fabric for the handles. The middle tote in the picture used the lining fabric for the handles.
The pattern also shows you how to use 2 additional strips for making handles. I preferred this look and used 12 strips for the other two totes in the picture.
Seems a lot of us have tuxedo cats (black and white). Mine came from a shelter and is just the best quilting buddy.
