Snowguy seems to be right; "quarter of" must be southern slang.

I use quarter of when I'm speaking colloquially, and quarter to when I speak formally. I'm from the Great Lakes Midwest and grew up in the Upper Midwest, not from the South. My New England wife only says quarter to.

I've never even heard quarter of and it doesn't make sense to me.
