Default Brands on fabric

Grrrrrr! I may be new to quilting but fabric companies certainly shouldn't be; yes, I understand branding but why on earth do they feel it necessary to go over 1/4 beyond the selvage into the fabric; to make this case even worse; it is flannel so there will be lots of shrinkage. I don't know what I will end up with but it could make the size of the baby quilt a bit smaller as I had figured one whole cut for the back. It just seems to me they should realize what they are doing; and yes I know......wouldn't have had to buy it but it is what I wanted for this quilt. Okay enough of that. Thanks everyone on all the tips for working with flannel, I certainly appreciate them.
