I often use flannel as a backing and I have used both flannel sheets and BTY flannel. Reminder, any sheet is usually a lot bigger than the top will be (tucking in room). And, when I buy BTY, I do not like to do a seam down the middle. I prefer to use a full WOF down the middle and the more narrow bits on each side. I find it a bit more interesting. I also tend to 'add' stuff to the backs for interest. Perhaps I will piece a block in the center of each side or do a scrappy 6" strip down the sides of the full piece - anything to add a bit of interest. I also am one of those folks who tend to not prewash my fabric - But - when I am going to do a flannel backing, I do prewash everything.
