5, but two are small that came in kits-barely ever use those- and two are on the flip side of June Tailor Cut N Press (so useful!). Main one is 17x23, other even bigger.

Only a couple. I bought a cheap 23x23 when I started quilting and the rotary cutter I bought came with like a 4x12 (something like that) cutting mat. Think the reason why I only have two is when I tried rotary cutting I couldn't get the hang of it, got turned off by it, and stuck with the scissors. But I picked up rotary cutting again (only binding strips at the moment) so I might buy a new cutting mat.

Have used all at one time or another, but usually use my 24x36 and my 6".
Sewcrafty--where did you get a 6" rotary mat?

I have three:

17' rotating square
17 X 23
24 X 36

I use the largest one, on my cutting table, the most. I want to get a smaller one, maybe 12" square or so, to put next to the sewing maching. I do have the rotating one there right now, but rather have it available at the cutting table.

I might get the ironing/cutting one, instead of just a smaller square, for the sewing machine area, and to use for classes. On the other hand, having to get up to walk to the cutting table or the iron is "exercise", right? Maybe I should buy fabric with that money instead:D

When I was teaching it was learned I loved teddy bears and EVERYBODY bought me teddy bears. My non-quilting friends would see these neat cutting boards and buy me one. My favorite is my cutting/ironing board. Cut, flip to press.
