Well then again maybe people aren't as sloppy with their coffee as I am with mine. :-)
Mine finished at approximately 6.5 inches by 9.5 inches.
I guess they're typically about this size... A friend sent me one that's almost 7 x 10 inches.
As far as messes... I don't drink coffee, I drink hot cocoa... and for now I've been using mine upside down when a cup sits on it, then put it right side up when I'm done. But I guess it's like any other quilt... wash it when it's dirty. And most of those stains come out if you catch them early.
