4 More Strips Done

I have 4 more strips done on my quilt.  I only have 4 left to go.  It feels like I'm wrestling now when I'm sewing the strips on.  It's not too bad when I'm doing the straight stitch, but it seems to really pull when I'm doing the decorative stitch.  Maybe it's just me.  (And it's getting so heavy that it's pulling the cover off of my ironing board.)
