I've got a curved wall that tapers down that I modeled in place and created using a blended sweep.  I then applied a brick material to the blended sweep that is the same as the brick material used on all of my other walls in the project.  As you can see in the image attached, the pattern is angled and tapers down with the wall...it's not just an issue of looking at it in 3D, it looks the same in an elevation view.  I've tried removing the material and using the paint tool and it has the same results.  Does anyone have a quick solution to this?  I have several walls in the project like this...

Thanks!

Model a normal wall of uniform height, with the curve in plan. Then, make a void swept blend, to be cut from the normal wall.

Normally, if this was just a curved wall with a void cut like alfmedina says, you could add a straight section of wall with brick and join the two.  Then rotate the pattern on the straight section, then delete the straight section.  This might work with this face applied pattern ... but I'm not sure. 

You might also try just assigning the brick to your sweep rather than face painting it.  In either case, make sure this wall is in the wall category.

This is the result, when the wall is done with the method described above, and with materials by layers, not paint.

Thanks for the help!  Cutting with a void worked perfect.
