I use ALL flannel backings on what I call my "using" quilts for family and friends. They are sooooo warm and snugly. Yes.. PREWASH and hot dry the flannel (it does shrink a surprising amount) and buy GOOD QUALITY FLANNEL.
I made my hubby a 100 % flannel quilt 5 yrs ago, and hand tied it. I toss it in the washer/dryer every few months and it's still in beautiful shape. It's without a doubt the warmest quilt we have in the house.
