I did not fret about points at all - it would have been crazy time consuming to try real hard to match every point. This quilt is so busy with colors all over the place that they aren't going to be noticed.
For the borders, I sewed the neutral pieced strips to the outer border (leaving the ends open) and then sewed that as a unit to the quilt. I matched up the center points and the stretched it to get it lined up at the quarter marks and then sewed it to the quilt. Then after it was on I went back and finished the seams to close up the corners.
