Has anyone ever combined quilting and tying in the same quilt?

I have a quilt top made for my DGD for Christmas and I have started quilting it. But I am realizing that I probably won't have time to finish totally quilting the whole thing and still keep my sanity before we leave for Christmas in Denver in 3 weeks. I can't tell her to wait for a few weeks after Christmas because she is only 7 years old and wouldn't understand that.

So I am thinking of finishing quilting the parts of the quilt that can be quilted easily, then tie some other parts of the quilt that would be much harder to quilt. DGD will not care, or know the difference.

Has anyone else done this? Is there anything I should consider before I attempt this?
