I'd guess aspen would be a bit brittle.  Cherry could work.  But check around; you might have birch somewhere around.  Here in Wyoming we have a species of birch called black birch or river birch that has great bark for this sort of thing.  It only grows along stream banks, and it is much smaller than paper birch, so you'd have to sew pieces together, but I think it would make a great quiver.

you could use spruce bark and spruce roots for the lacing
