There are no quotas. Under law, any justice on the US Supreme Court could be replaced by a woman when his or her seat becomes vacant, potentially creating a Court with all nine female justices.

This is an extremely unlikely situation in reality (for many reasons), but there is no legislation or constitutional mandate preventing the possibility.
