It has been quite awhile since I ordered these place-mats. I wanted to be truthful in my review and I think that now I can give an honest opinion. When I was looking at buying them, I read what a good size they were. This statement is absolutely true. Nothing skimpy about them at all. I have company over quite often, and there are always compliments about how pretty the blue and white colors are on the place-mats. I have washed them a few times and never put them in the dryer. Instead, I lay them out flat to dry. I am not sure what would happen if I dried them, but don't think I will take that chance. I would purchase them again and recommend them as well.
