The handle with the words is what's called the selvage - it's the long edge of a bolt of fabric which is usually finished in a way that means it doesn't unravel.
In quilting fabric, they print the production company, the collection, and the designer, as well as the colours used in printing. For some ranges of fabric in modern quilt design, the selvage has a significant value - the Cotton+Steel design house prints not only the name of the fabric pattern designer, but also quotations intended to be inspirational.
So I used the main breadth of the print to cut out the panels of the bag, but I cut off the selvages and sewed them together for the underside of the strap.
