I have never made a flannel quilt like this before so I can't really advise about the washing; however when I make anything that will shed lots of fuzz and threads, I put it in my dryer on air first and sometimes a couple of times, then clean my lint filter, this is what I do before washing. This helps to cut down on all the excess strings that might get into the washer.
