For this carrier I have been making lately. It has a 24" backing, 22" inner and batting, 22" x 1.25" handle and two 6" x .5 inch loops. I added a green stripe to the floral fabric to make it wide enough to be used as a backing. The pink lacy fabric and the batting were trimmed to 22" square and stitched with a decorative stitch. I used the green for the handle and the loops as well. Because these are reversible you can use which ever side you like best as the outside. The procedure is the same - lift the handle from the middle, place your container below it and then add the loops one at a time over the handle. One handle you can put over your arm on your way to your next potluck with friends and family!! Therese
