I made this table runner as a test piece with a pack of charm squares, and I washed and dried it, and I wondered what you thought. I will need to try a binding at some point, but does this look terrible? I know you can't prewash charm squares and when I washed it the runner did shrink a little and got a little warped.

I want to make a couple as gifts, but do I need to be concerned or explain about washing and drying to the people I am giving it to? I may be over-thinking this. Maybe I could suggest to hand wash.

Thank you very much.
