Quinto Acuto - Cross Stitch Pattern by Long Dog Samplers

The quinto acuto is the classic Gothic arch, the centre of which is located one fifth of the way across its width. All the best cathedrals have them.

And if you’re into critters there are over a hundred of the little rascals for your delight and delectation including assorted squirrels, two elephants and a very shy octopus called Mavis.
