I do this - the quilts hang over a bench by the door but are protected by an overhang. I don't do batting and usually don't put as much quilting as usual in them. I usually find fabric at Walmart for them because the sun fades them easily. Most are seasonal and I also have done a pineapple and a big smily face sun. I did some panels of Disney characters when the grandkids were little and they loved that. You may do a lot of different things. Just remember if it's meant to be seen from the street (as mine are) the design has to be a bit larger than you would usually make.
