It's the perfect size for a "travel" mat to cut or square up small quilting squares.  What I don't like about it is the printed label on the actual mat (instead of a label you can remove).  It takes up about 2 inches by 2 1/2.  Find it very distracting that so much area is covered on such a small mat.  Had it not been for that, it was have been a 5 star mat!
