I only have a cardboard sort of 'mat' for cutting, but I could understand needing something that stands up to the rotary cutter.

How cool that you quilt! I wish I'd gotten into that. I once choreographed a production of the musical "Quilters." It was quite feminist and probably wouldn't be as accepted today in community theatre, much less a high school performance.
