Flannel bindings?

Flannel bindings?
I've just finished a couple of baby quilts with flannel backs (the tops are regular quilting cottons) and can't find any suitable binding fabric in my stash. Is there any reason why I shouldn't use flannel for the bindings? Does anybody do this? I already prewashed it twice to make sure I wouldn't have excess shrinkage.

Ditto on the go ahead, and wider seam allowance, plus I use a wider than most binding anyway, I usually cut my bindings at 3" wide.
I just did one last year and it worked fine other than I still am not a fan of flannel, too much pet hair in my household.
