Default How much will Kona shrink?

I'm about to begin a modern quilt with a whole lot of white so I have 8 yards of white Kona. I usually prewash all my fabrics but the thought of washing and ironing all that fabric at once... I don't usually worry so much about ironing large pieces of fabric when they're prints because, if I'm not absolutely perfect, I can usually get it smoothed out enough. Or, if it's a backing, rolling it on the LA will smooth out minor wrinkles. But every little wrinkle is going to show on white solid and make it harder to cut pieces accurately.
Can I get away with not prewashing Kona?
