17in cutting mat
I have just finished squaring up 56 12 1/2 in blocks and would have had problems with smaller mat. I really like the big one. Can always cut smaller pieces on it but needing it for bigger blocks make it essential for me

Joanns' has a 14" X 14" on sale right now for $20.39. Although it's a Fiskars, I have used the large Fiskars mat at home with no problems. I buy Omnigrid for the one I use most often, but truthfully, I can't tell much difference. For something I wouldn't use that often, I'd much rather only have the $20 invested rather than the $70, and that was the sale price!!

I've got the 12". It's all the store had when I bought mine. I don't think it rotates nicely so I don't rotate it at all anymore. It is the one that is next to my machine for paper piecing when I just need a quick slice.
Having said that... It isn't wearing as nicely as my big Fiskars mat. It doesn't appear to be very self healing and is looking really funky. It doesn't get a lot of use but it still looks terrible considering its age. I wish they could have used a better material in making it...

That's why I like this board. We learn from others mistakes so we don't have to make so many ourselves. LOL
