Not quite.
But having thought about it, to put in a false seam to balance the two sides of the back of your quilt, and make it look asthetically pleasing, there is no need to cut the wide fabric.
Measure over the width of the narrow piece, and fold right side to right side. Whip on down a 1/4 "seam", press flat. Voilla! Instant seam. cost you exactly 1/2inch of fabric, about three minutes of time, and you'll never have to answer why the seam is offset on the back.
