Not with fabric, but my hubby has made a few wooden quilts for hanging.
We have two hanging on the outside of our home and our granddaughter is purchasing her first home and wanted one for her front door. He made her a 12"x12" in the colors requested.
I agree, it is nice to see the other half interested in quilting also.

Just traditional blocks, with some creative sashing (he fussy cut diamonds for petes sake!) and of course the pillow wedges.
