Putting The Purse Together:
Lay out the squares in 5 rows of 6 squares ea.  Play around with the squares until you get the pattern you like (or use mine).  Sew the squares together first into rows and then the rows together.
Sew sides together to form a tube.  Sew the bottom of the purse to this tube.  Sew purse handles to top edges.
