What now? Have any of you done one of these?

That can happen if you don't reverse the direction you sew strips together every other row. Your lanterns look great though!
You will also need to measure your pieced strips and cut the sashing that measurement before sewing. Every seam line will stretch a little if the total length of both strips are not pinned at every seam. This helps to keep the seam lines from stretching while sewing it to the sashing.

No. I know now I did a real no no. I thought I could add to something and just square it off as I go instead of measuring pieces. As a result one side is a whole lot longer than the other.

keep going.
when it's wide enough, applique the sides of it to straight borders wide enough to accommodate the curves.
nobody needs to know the curves weren't intentional.
we sure won't tell. LOL
seriously ... i think it would look nifty if you did that.
