I bought this quilt top many years ago. The small pieces forming the "rings" are small pieces of feed sack fabric. I first learned about the uses for this material from my belle mere, Louise. She told me that she used to make clothes etc. from the sacks that held the grain for the cows and chickens. It was an incentive for farmers to buy their grain in something that their wives and daughters could reuse.
