I make my personal placemats oversized also, so that the glass can be on the mat and not the table itself. I make them 15" high by about 20" wide. Table runners vary from 12" "high" to 15" or even more, but the perfect size depends on what looks best on the table. My own table doesn't look good with both a runner and mats at the same time.
