I agree, you never know and I tend to do what I want and don't believe when it comes to quilting some rules are made to be broken. Besides, who makes these rules. Most are made by quilt shows because they only want certain things but even that is changing. I do always wash flannel first, it has a tendancy to shrink so its better to get it out of the way and then you wont have bunching going on when you have say a 6in cotton block and a 6 in flannel together and then washed the flannel gets smaller.
