How long is "too long"? If I get it to the long armer by Wednesday, she might have it done for me in 2 weeks, then there is binding......

Doing nothing to it at this point isn't going to make a difference in how easily the run comes out later. There is no reason to panic, and no reason to rush. Wash it when it's finished...two weeks, four weeks, whatever. It doesn't make that much difference if you're not doing anything to set the loose dyes (that means use a DRY iron when pressing your blocks and set it at the lowest heat necessary...no steam, no spray of any kind, just to be safe...moist heat can set dyes). Re-read Scissor Queen's post. She knows what she's talking about.
