Default Advice pls - make king quilt from 2 twins

I'd like to make a king sized quilt, but I'd like to NOT make a king sized quilt if you know what I mean. (I'd be much happier making 2 twin quilts!)

I did this once before but it didn't turn out exactly as I'd like, so any advice will be appreciated.

I'm thinking of making 2 identical twin quilts (maybe 9 patch with borders/sashing to disguise where I join them...). These will not have batting, they will be summer quilts or coverlets for the purists out there.

I'd prefer to fold the back to the front as the binding but I would consider pillowcase style too.

The previous one turned out ok but I was not able to join the twins in the middle smoothly. The quilt does not lay totally flat in spots.

Would an entirely separate piece of fabric work down the middle as the "joiner"?? How??

Here's a picture of my last one.
