Default flannel precuts and backing

When I've used flannel in the past I have prewashed it several times - especially if I was using it as backing to a regular cotton top. Then I've washed the finished quilt as another safeguard to the dreaded shrinkage for which flannel is famous.

Now I'm working with flannel fat quarters which I did not prewash. I'll be using flannel for the backing. To prewash that backing or not?

Thoughts?
