I've backed a couple of t shirt quilts for my cousin with minky. She supplied the shirts and backing. It is super luxurious and snuggly. I chose not to use batting because the bag with the minky was already so heavy, and she planned to carry it to football games and such. For the binding, I double folded the extended minky to the front and used a zig-zag stitch to secure, with a walking foot! I have a domestic machine.
