You don't want that seam anywhere near the actual edges of your quilt where your binding would go.
Or you could just add a piece on one side, say 8"-10" wide, shifting the whole thing over. Do the same thing for the length.
Don't even have to try to center it. That's probably the easiest.
Pieced backings are great. I do all mine that way.
Just keep that long seam a good way away from the parallel edges.
I agree with MTS. You don't want that seam right on the border.
