Great giveaway, Christina! Just yesterday I had to do a bunch of trimming on small blocks and a smaller mat would have worked well. Nothing like the right tool for the job :)

It is great that there are still people quilting by hand - I have been massively inspired by the Quilts exhibition that is on in the VandA in London at the moment!

Little mats are good things!
Some cutting is always tiny and being able to do it at the sewing machine would be a bonus.
