Check with your longarmer to see if they can use pieced backs. They also prefer horizontal seams rather then vertical seams. When a top is rolled with vertical seams they stack on top of each other causing a lump.

I agree with Tartan. You really need to talk with the person who is going to do your quilting. They will tell you how they want your seams to run. It also sounds like you want a panel centered. Definately speak to them about this!!!They may or may not be able to accomplish it. And even if they can center it, that doesn't mean that they will think to do it unless you tell them.
