A quarter-turn fastener and hanger assembly for connection to a base plate having a fastener receiving receptacle, said hanger assembly including a hanger bracket having a fastener receiving hole, wherein said hanger bracket includes at least one forwardly bent tang defining a locked position retention limit stop surface;

• said fastener including a body rotatable between an insertion position for connection to the base plate and a locked position releasably securing said hanger bracket to the base plate;
• a head portion to move said fastener between said insertion position and said locked position;
• an attachment portion sized to pass through said fastener receiving hole in said hanger bracket and the fastener receptacle in the base plate;
• said attachment portion including at least one abutment surface to abut the back surface of the base plate in said locked position,
• said head portion includes deformable resilient arms extending laterally outward and toward said attachment portion with ends to engage a front face of said hanger bracket to urge said at least one abutment surface into abutting relation to the back surface of the base plate, wherein one of said deformable resilient arms abuts said locked position limit retention stop surface to prevent rotation from said locked position,
• wherein said hanger assembly further includes a fabric member connected to said hanger bracket and to a supported element.
