The Best Day Ever - Part 3: Quilts

There are beautiful quilts shown at the California State Fair every year. They're hanging everywhere in the exhibit hall, and some are closer to the observers' eyes than others.

Many of the quilts look like what you'd expect in pieced or appliqued quilts. However, there was one piece that my brain wasn't able to figure out, even after getting as close as I could and really trying to understand it from a fabric and thread perspective. It is called Threads of Time.

The rings are machine stitched, but the cracks still baffle me. What a wonderful piece of work. Click on the image to see a larger version.
