We got a chest freezer last year and I wanted to create a topper for it since it was so white and bright and I thought adding a topper to it would make it look more homey. So I measured the top of the freezer and decided to use the smallest size Drunkard's Path die cuts from Crafter's Edge. I just went through my scraps of brown and yellows to use. My original idea was to make a sort of Sunflower shape using these colors, but I didn't like how it was looking, so I played with layouts until I was happy and this is the end result. I do like this layout a lot.
I also decided to sew them a bit differently by appliquéing the curve, by placing it on top, rather than sewing a curve. I like the appliqué look.
I am sure you might be wondering how do I open a chest freezer without this topper constantly falling off? Simple, I glued a magnet on all four corners of the topper and it stays put. Yes that was pretty genius if I do say so myself, LOL!!!

| Magnets glued to all 4 corners keep the topper in place when the freezer is opened. |
