Default A question about working with Flannel

This quilt top is made out of flannel. The back is also flannel. It isn't quilted yet and recently I have read the flannel should always be washed before sewing because of shrinkage. Is this really true? Do I have useless quilt top? Will quilting be a problem? I had planned to send this one out for quilting because my FMQ skills are very limited and I think this quilt top has a lot of design opportunities. It's 65" x 77". I rarely wash my fabric before I sew so it never crossed my mind that I should wash it first! The fabric is good quilt shop quality.

I appreciate all comments!!
