I love Pinterest! I have over 7,000 followers on my "quilt ideas" board alone. I usually only pin quilts that have free patterns, but occasionally pin quilts that I describe as "inspiration". A previous member stated the correct way to find the origin of the pattern--"visit site". Occasionally when visiting the site it might be a challenge to find the pinned pattern (usually,when visiting site it should go directly to the pinned item). I have had "pinners" comment to me that they can't find the pattern---then I do a more detailed search myself and post a comment on exact location of the pinned item. Don't give up on Pinterest! It is such a great "idea" source!
