I've used Minky a few times. No shrink, but plenty stretch (if you let it!) My favorite was a crib size, very simply pieced top with light flannel for batting. I just turned it inside out to finish the edges. The flannel helped me control the stretch but quilt was still somewhat heavy. This is balanced by the fact that it's really wearing well, has turned into the blanket of choice for control of toddler crisis situations!! The toddler has recently acquired a baby sister and my heart melted when older sister came out of her room thumb in mouth and blanket in hand.
