I love Baltimore Album quilts! But I also love to applique quick and easy fun designs. These crabs are just another type of Baltimore quilt! Make the quilt with blue fabric to show crabs in the Chesapeake Bay or stitch it in red to represent the steamed crabs we love to eat here in Baltimore!

Downloading Directions

The pattern is in Adobe PDF format. This ensures that the pattern will be properly formatted and of the correct size when you print it out. You must have Adobe Acrobat® Reader software installed (most computers already do) to access the document.

To access the pattern, click on "Download Crab Feast Pattern" above. It may take a few seconds to download. What happens after that will depend on your browser settings.
One of the following will happen:
  • A window will appear asking you if you want to "Open" or "Save". Choose "Open", then click "OK".
  • A window will appear asking where you want to save the file. Choose a location to save the file, then go to that location, and double-click to open the file. This is just like when you save a word processing document, then open it later.
  • A new browser window will appear right away containing the pattern.
The document containing the pattern is two pages long: the first page has directions, the second has the pattern. To print the pattern, click the icon with a picture of a printer. The 'Print' window will appear.

Important: If the 'Shrink to Fit' or 'Fit to Page' options are available in the 'Print' window, make sure that they are NOT checked.
