It is more of a storage site for all the online pictures. You see a picture of a quilt or item you like you add it to Pinterest and it stores it in folders for you with the exact web address where you found it. It is much easier then saving the picture in a file on your computer and doesn't take up any computer space. You can see other people folders, it's all pictures and where they are located on the web. Ever look for a picture of something you saw online but can't remember where it was? Just Pinterest it.
