    I love mine. I just made a Disappearing 9 Patch and it's wonderful for that. You can just turn your mat and not have to move the block! Love it!

    I bought one a few months back with a JoAnn's coupon...LOVE it! I bought it with a specific pattern in mind but end up using it a lot! Well worth my $$.

    I think they're kind of pricey so I asked my husband to help me make one. I bought a circular board at Lowe's and cut up one of my old mats and Gorilla glued it down. That was a few years ago and I love it. Oh, yes! I also bought a lazy susan type plastic (has inlaid wheels) at Lowe's and attached to the bottom. It took about an hour to do all this but I got a larger rotating board for a much smaller price than I could have bought one. I use it frequently for cutting smaller pieces, etc.

    I love mine! Used the larger one to cut out pieces using the large apple core template. The mat was a lifesaver!

    I have 3 -- two are squares and one is the Brooklyn Revolver with the ironing surface on one side (wow has that gone up in price). I use the Brooklyn Revolver the most with the large square second. I have had the Brookly Revolver for several years and use it on every project when squaring blocks or for HST. Love it. The squares do no turn as well, but they work for wierd size blocks. If I did not have the revolver, I would save my pennies for the martelli -- the round does not need as much extra space to rotate as the squares.

    I use mine all the time. Makes cutting much easier and I think safer because I'm not twisting and turning strange directions to cut.
