I make most quilts using my way for quilt as you go. This may help,
Lay the 2 sections to be joined on a large flat surface. Join the top pieces as you would if separate. Put a very very very thin line of glue on the edge of line up to hold together. Check seams match etc on the front when glue dry. Now sew a normal 1/4" seam.press.
Lay top on table so that the back is up wards. You can see where the batting is over lapping. Time to line up down centre and I hand stitch together I find it is easier and neater.
Place one back piece flat under the other. The top one requires folding under. Little glue to hold flat. I hate seeing a sewing line so I hand stitch down and then finish the quilting.

I love doing it this way as it doesn't look like QAYG. A large quilt do in sections it gives more room for quilting.
