A webquilt (or web quilt) is a collection of websites linked together in a quilt structure, and usually organized around a specific theme, often educational, social, cultural or artistic. They were popular in the 1990s and early 2000s, particularly among amateur websites.
To be a part of the webquilt, each site has a common navigation bar; it contains links to the previous and next sites. By selecting next (or previous) repeatedly, the user will eventually reach the site they started at; this is the origin of the term webquilt.
