I think the seam down the middle is only a bad idea if you are sending it to a long arm quilter....and then it is okay if the seam is horizontal rather than vertical. (loading the back to quilt on the long arm ...you don't want that vertical seam lapping over itself over and over.) If you are going to quilt it yourself, that seam down the middle is just a personal preference or not.
Welcome to the quilting world. Are you addicted yet?? It doesn't take long.
