My own take is that your quilts are fabulously beautiful and I like the sleds! I didn't at first, but when I looked at the wall as a whole, they provide punctuation and a welcome visual texture to the huge expanse. They actually allow the eye to rest on the quilts rather than distracting.

I love Ann's work and think it looks gorgeous in that setting. I even like the red flyer sleds as punctuation between the quilts - they add a really interesting visual texture to a huge wall and frame her pieces without interfering with them in the slightest.
