Yes, definitely, make sure you hot wash and hot dry to shrink it well.
Actually, I usually do it at least two times.
One or two layers, just depending on what I am wanting for my finished quilt.
Flannelette can also be quite nice in a bed quilt, if you want one a little lighter.
Yet it can still be nice and cozy, with a lovely drape. I consider mine as a "summer quilt".
For your runners .... one layer is enough to do the job.
However, if you are wanting more padding for protection from heat or mositure, then more layers.
It really depends on how thick and bulky you want your finished quilt to be.
Also, there are different flannel weights to factor in. And how much quilting you will do.
Perhaps the best thing to do would be .....
..... to make your first with one layer, and see if you are pleased.
Then decide if the next should have two layers, or you stick with the one for it too.
Good Luck!
A great time to try out lots of different quilt patterns!
