I have never made a quilt of any kind using only flannel. I live in the deep south and feel that would be too warm for me. I did put flannel in the center of this one becuase I thought it would be "fuzzier" when it frayed than regular cotton fabric. I know a lot of rag quilts are made with all flannel, so it certainly can be done. My guess is that you will get a much shaggier edge.. and probably more mess in the washer and dryer.
