I would definitely have to have seams on the back, but that's OK; more than half of my quilt backs are pieced and I've gotten pretty good and making sure seam intersections from the back don't line up with seam intersections on the front. As long as I'm careful with that, I don't have any issues quilting them. (I quilt on a DSM, no long-arm involved.)

Hmm. Maybe I should make a throw-sized version first and see how warm it is, and also how well it survives the wash... Although that makes me think...a king-sized double-fleece quilt is going to probably kill my washing machine if I try washing it at home. And I really HATE laundromats.

Hmph. He might just have to live with two quilts. LOL
