Do you have one of those super big cups that holds a ton of coffee (or whatever it is that you drink)? If so, I bet those tiny standard sized coasters just don’t work for you. So here is the extra large coaster pattern, made just for you and your ginormous cup! If this doesn’t work for your cup, I don’t know what will.
