Does anyone have any suggestions on how to set up or create a jig to cope multiple pieces of quarter round? In the past I have work with a coping saw as well as a sharp utility knife and a rasp. This system works but it takes up quite alot of time.

If it's true 3/4" quarter round, I suppose you could make a jig with a 1-1/2' hole saw.

A-holes. Hey every group has to have one. And I have been elected to be the one. I should make that my tagline.
Cut a miter on the end of the piece, then use a grinder and sanding disks to cope it. Works like a dream. It is alot faster than the old way with a coping saw.

Would a "dremel" hand held grinder work?
My coworker has two dremels on his saw stand, each with a sanding drum. He copes very well and quick. No dap required. I use a mini router but wil try his method next trim job.
Have a goo day

coping shoe and a jigsaw.
Would a coping shoe be too big for quater round?
How about a 60 grit sanding drum on your drill press?
From what I've heard a 4" angle grinder is the best. I'd set it up so you have a saw horse and a clamp near the chopsaw. I like the Vice grip clamps because they are fast and have rubber pads.
