Default ?s re: backing for large lap quilt

Have you ever had fabric that was almost too pretty to cut? Well, I'm very tempted to buy a piece that's on sale today. I'm thinking of using it for a future backing; it's a multicolored print with 8" figures on a white background. (The figures are too close to each other to fancy cut cleanly.) Although I personally like a seamless backing, I'm wondering about seams on this one. If I go for it, would it be better to have one center seam or two side seams? I'm thinking two would be harder, but perhaps better. Equal or not equal widths? Should the seams run lengthwise? What quantity of fabric would be generously sufficient at 44-45" wide?
