Great Idea !! And great job!!! I have 1 question though - why did you pad it with the quilt batting? Wouldn't it work better if it was a firm surface for you to be moving it around during the quilting process?
I do like the idea of the clear vinyl as the top layer though.

Don't shoot yourself in the foot. I'd like one temporarily until my long arm arrives, lol. Like that's gonna happen any time soon.

If you use a smoother wood or took the time to sand well, you could leave the batting out. However, if you do, you will want to measure really carefully or round your edges really well next to the machine to prevent having a lip that might make it harder to move the quilt around.
