Every quilt has an appropriate batting. Since you don't want any shrink or "crinkle" after washing, you will need to prewash your fabrics and use a poly batting (no shrink) or a cotton batting and preshrink it. I have used poly battings in many quilts, but most require closer quilting lines (2"-4" or 4"-6")than the cottons with a scrim(some are up to 10"), so that is also something to keep in mind. I personally don't care for real close quilting, so I always try to choose one that allows more space between the quilting lines.
