I agree with Scissor Queen! I don't prewash any of my flannel quilts until I have the quilt completely quilted. I made an Exploding Star quilt from Kansas Troubles line called Flannel Days. I used 2 layer cakes and some yardage for the quilt and used 7 1/2 yards of flannel for the backing. I washed it after it was quilted using color catchers (just in case!) and through it in the dryer and there was minimal shrinkage.
