I've done a quilt in sections and added quilted borders after quilting the centre - the only thing i would say is be sure to leave a good inch of fabric unquilted all round the edges where you'll be joining the pieces together. And I did turn the seams under on the back and slipstitch by hand, having joined the top sides on the machine. It worked fine!
