You can do it either way. If you sew the individual border strips together first it is real important to have a consistent seam allowance or the sides will mismatch on the miter. You also have to make sure to leave the tails long enough.

Sew the borders together, than miter as one.

There are other tutorials out there, this is one of many.

If you do it all at once then the miter is appealing because it is all in alignment. Also, it is easier to do a fudge factor this way and still have it look great.
I did a tute on it once but couldn't find it. Will PM it to you.
