SWPL managing director Fiona McIntyre, who conducted the draw, said: "I'm delighted with the steps that the SWPL has already taken to increase visibility, to develop new partnerships and to grow and strengthen existing ones.
"It's an exciting time for girls' and women's football and, working together across the game, there is unlimited potential to what can be achieved."
How the teams got to the last eight:
Celtic stayed on course to defend their title with a victory at Partick Thistle, with Lucy Ashworth-Clifford and Jacynta's first-half goals sealing the win. Their opponents Spartans, meanwhile, came out on top in a nervy penalty shoot-out as they beat Edinburgh rivals Hearts.
Glasgow Women got their first win of the season, coming from behind to beat Stirling University, while Glasgow City eased past Aberdeen to reach the last eight.
Kirsty Howat's hat-trick helped fire Rangers past Queen's Park as the top-flight champions won 5-0, while Motherwell saw off Dundee United 2-1 thanks to Gill Inglis' winner.
There was a hat-trick hero for Hibernian too as Crystal Thomas's three goals saw the Hibees thrash Hamilton Accies 8-0 for the biggest win of the second round. Standing in their way of a spot at the semi-finals are Kilmarnock who are the only SWPL 2 side left in the competition after they beat Gartcairn 2-0.
