I've done this sort of thing already, and I find I get bored, or can't figure out what to put where, etc. And it limits putting anything else on to quilt when not practising. I am trying to figure out a way to put something on the part of the rails that isn't in use to practise some FMQ when a more "serious" quilt is in progress.
