Not every quilt can work for every session. This is why I always go to a session with three or more quilts in my car. Most of the time I will use only one, but I never know which one until my clients have arrived.
When choosing which three (or ten) to take with me, I tend to look for a few key things. First, I grab a quilt full of blue. From experience, quilts with more blue are more likely to match your client's unknown outfit choices. Second, I grab a quilt with a lot of different colors. This will almost guarantee that it will match your client's clothes. Third, if I have a quilt full of neutrals, I will grab that as well.
I know many photographers love shooting with mostly white, or extra light colored quilts. I personally don't shoot with these, but they tend to match well too. A quilt with lighter colors may match better than a quilt with super bright colors. But, with more white, there is a greater chance that the white will have blown highlights.
So, it is up to you, your style, and your clients.
