Default Should I Prewash Heirloom 80/20 Batting?

I'm making a flannel quilt with a flannel back. I prewashed all the fabric. But, since it's flannel will it shrink some again if the whole quilt is washed? The package gives directions on how to prewash it. Says it can shrink up to 5 percent. If the top and backing were cotton, I would go ahead and prewash it.

So, any one with experience of washing a flannel quilt where all the fabric was prewashed before piecing, was there any noticeable shrinkage?
