    I think mine is 24 x 24. I'm at work and will check when I get home to be sure.

    Mine is a 12 x 6, it's ok but I'd like to get a bigger one.

    I have an 18 x 24, the perfect size for my desk. The larger sizes are really awkward, especially if you take any quilting classes. They just don't have the room usually for the larger sizes on the tables they use.

    When I took my last class, one of the ladies had a larger size one. It was huge!! She was asked to bring a smaller size one to class. They just didn't have the room, what with the sewing machines and other cutting mats there.

    I don't like mine, it is 16 x 5 It is way too small for most of the things i do. Some day i hope to have a 18 X 24. but it simply isn't in the budget.

    Mine is an 18 x 24. I do want a bigger one when I have a permanent cutting table.

    I have a 23 X 35 for cutting boarder strips. But I also have a 12 X 18, which is good for most things, but I find myself going off the edge on larger things, so I have the huge one.

    I have several but the one I use the most is my 24 X 18. I have a couple of smaller ones that I use for making miniature quilts, I love my 12 X 12 for that.

    18x24, I have 2 because when I cut fabric for clothes (I don't quilt) I love using a rotary cutter. It does a wonderful and accurate job.
