Try this website, it has lots of good info on feet and where you would use them.
http://sewmamasew.com/blog2/2009/06/feet-feet-feet/ This should help you identify the feet youve got. Many machines will have a zig zag foot with room for the needle to swing, a zipper foot, a blind hem foot and a buttonhole foot as a basic selection. There are lots of others too for specialised techniques such as rolled hem, overcasting or tuffting.
For Quilting though you actually can get away with just a straight stitch foot to piece the fabric and a walking foot if you are going to machine stitch the layers and batting together. This is a walking foot.
Having a quarter inch foot is very handy to achieve perfect 1/4" seams for piecing.
Lastly, if you want to try stippling or free motion quilting, you'll need a special foot, and it will probably look a little like this.
