We seem to have have two conversations going on here.

The OP asked about Utility Quilting (capital u), not Utility Quilts. The style of the actual stitching itself. These days, it doesn't matter what type of quilt it's used on. I've even seen it used on quilts hanging in shows.

Shakio is a different type of utility quilting (small u) that originated in Japan. Kantha, which originated in Bengal, is another type.
