Drum for Valentine Tiny Town

I am trying to do a drum finish for one of my Tiny Town stitches. I wasn't looking forward to really packing the drum with a lot of fiber fill - I don't always get the smooth results I would like to have. I also didn't want to put cardboard circles inside in case the drum ever needed to be washed. These are the early beginnings for my attempt at what I hope will work for me. I am using Warm and Natural quilt batting strips made into a spiral for the main portion of the drum. I have some discs cut from the same batting for the top and bottom. I am digging through my quilt fabric for an appropriate piece to finish the top and bottom of the drum. I have not figured out each step ahead of time so it will be interesting to see what does not work as I had planned while I move forward.

Have a a wonderful Labor Day if you are celebrating ♥
