Find the biggest granite fabricator / installer in your area...typically there are only 2 or 3 per region and everyone else sources from them. Then ask them the most popular current color style/choices which coordinate w/ your kitchen. Dollars to donuts they'll have tons (literally - ha!) of remnants from large jobs where someone adamantly insisted on whole pieces (and pays dearly for it). They'll then digitally arrange pieces to work for your set-up. Your application w/o too many large side by side sections (i.e. opposite sides of stove, etc.) based on pictures, will be perfect for them to make a few $ on what otherwise is scrap. They'll hide your seams exceptionally to point a great installer will have to point out to you where they are.
You'll save a ton versus spec and get benefits of granite vs quartz (probably cost less than quartz too - at least ours did in two spare baths). The bigger the fabricator/installer the better off you'll be price wise. If you're nice enough they'll probably even let you into shop to pick pieces
. BTW, ask at your local big box home improvement center or warehouse club (Home Depot, Lowe's, Costco, etc.) who they use - that'll typically be largest dependable fabricator in region.
Good luck
