Check your pressing too. If you iron instead of pressing,that will bow your strips.
Double check your seam lines, are they all straight?
I was wondering why my strips would bow a little. I never alternated the ends and I have a tendency to iron and not press.

I can and have always compensated for the bow by squaring after every third cut.
