@bigdogg saidThat sounds like a good idea, and it's similar to the advice in Dvoretsky's Endgame Manual that the side with the pawn(s) should try to put the king on the same rank or file as that of the opposing king, or on an adjacent rank or file. Another tip in the book is to centralize one's queen. The book acknowledges the complexity of queen and pawn endings and focuses on principles such as the above. Even if a position in such an ending is winning, it might take 50 moves to prove it!
