    I have the two Olfa ones (12" and 17"). They are great and well worth the money.
    Not long ago I questioned this board about replacing the top on the 12" rotating mat (http://www.quiltingboard.com/main-f1...t-t181860.html). Happy to report that it worked! Had an extra mat and super glued it right over the top of the very worn out one. Worked perfectly and now my rotating mat is pink!

    I just looked on Amazon and they are much less expensive than some of the other sites where I have seen them. Shop around.

    I saw a round, rotating cutting board from Martelli at a quilt show and paid the hefty asking price. It's got a cutting mat and underneath that a round ironing board piece that you can remove and use on the side. It's sturdy and top quality. I use it constantly and consider it, along with rotary cutters and my rulers to be my primary quilting tools. Go to the Martelli site and take a look. The price will choke you, so look for it at one of the quilt shows where they are vending.

    Olfa offers a 12" square rotating mat and there is a round one called Baltimore Revolver. I believe the Olfa mat runs around $30 and the Baltimore Rev. runs about twice the price of the Olfa.

    I recently replaced my rotating 13" cutting mat which sat to the left of my machine with a new 12". The new one works much better since I literally wore the other one out BUT I miss that inch!
