Likewise, if it were later in the morning I would probably have understood your first post. LOL

It's quite common to have to piece your borders. I usually go with a straight-across seam, because it's easier, doesn't use the bias, and almost always looks just fine after quilting. In most cases it really doesn't matter at all whether it's in the middle, 1/3 of the way down, same place on right and left, etc. If the fabric is a true border fabric, or if it's a large print, I would try to match up the pattern, otherwise I wouldn't worry about it. After all a quilt is made of many seams.
