Default My birthday present

My husband asked me what I wanted for my birthday. I really need nothing, but then I remembered I needed a cutting mat. I told him about it and he asked me to go ahead and order it. It arrived on Thurs. and I tried it later that day. It's like having a new blade in my cutter! Wow. Smooth as butter. I'm posting a picture of it and my old one which I've had for several years now and is very well worn.

I know that some of you say that you don't use the cutting lines on the mat. Obviously I do.

Congratulations! It certainly looks like your old one needed replacing but make sure you save it. You can flip it over to use the other side for squaring up your quilts with the rotary cutter and ruler.
