Where's a good place to promote?

I have an Etsy shop where I have been selling quilt blocks (mostly applique). But I need to reach a larger quilting community. Does anyone know of a place where I can advertise my blocks?

There are lots of sewing/quilting selling groups on Facebook as well as FB Marketplace.

When you post on Etsy, make sure you share it to Pinterest. I get a lot of traffic directed from Pinterest to my Etsy store.

Thanks for the suggestions. I have been using Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest for several years now and I am not really sure if I have ever had a sale from those. Facebook is a total waste of time if you dont have a few zillion followers.
I am looking for some quilting blogs that might allow advertising (for a price) that might take my sales to a higher level.

Pinterest seems to be a good way to get seen.

Will watch this thread also since I would like to sell online rather than trying to peddle at local shows.
