I love Pinterest as a means of bookmarking sites that I find.

It allows me to categorize pages, move things from one category to another with ease.

I save many recipes I have 'to try' and 'made' categories for different types of food. In review the recipe in the comments after I have made it.

I like too that I can easily post items from Pinterest share with friends on Facebook.

I have over 900 'Pins', that would be tough to keep track of using regular bookmarks. I can also see my pins on all my devices, whereas book marks are limited to just one device.

I also like Pinterest. I like being able to set up folders of my interests such as quilts, free motion motifs, kids stuff, etc. and then I can go back and check on them. Others who look at my folders can repin them for their info and I can repin theirs. Some of my contacts really like Pinterest to find recipes or exercise programs, etc. A fun place to waste a lot of time at.

Oh, that is a pretty one. I'm glad you asked that question. I wondered, too.

I think delectable mountains is a Eleanor Burns pattern. Don't think you can download from pinterest

If course that would depend on the size quilt you are making and the number of "mountains" you wish to have. This one has 10 "mountains" and she starts with 8.5 " squares. http://quiltville.blogspot.com/2005/...majesties.html

I was thinking to start with 12 inch squares, make a couple and see how they measure out. But I'm not really a "pattern" person. I'm more a "try a couple and see how it works" LOL

Thanks everyone. I understand now that it just takes you to a website for the pattern you are interested in. Wonderful board. Always helps. Think I will make the one from Quiltville. I'll use my strips for something else.
