Another good trick is to cut the patch 4" larger than the hole.
Cut the back side of the rock to size to fit the hole, peel off
the drywall leaving a 2" flap of finish paper around the
perimeter. Scrape back the texture around the hole, butter well
with compound, install the plug, striking the paper tight to the
wall. This will be much tighter than the build up you will get by
taping and bedding on top of the drywall.

That method is called a "dutchman", and it's a good way to repair
rectangular holes up to about 2' square in drywall. Very easy to mud and
finish, and plenty strong enough.
