We consider the quantum XY spin chain with quasi-periodic two-valued exchange couplings and a uniform transverse field. The equivalence of the system with a free fermionic model permits a detailed analysis of its thermodynamics. The zero-temperature magnetization is a Cantor function of the applied field. The zero-field specific heat and susceptibility have a power-law behaviour at low temperature, modulated by periodic amplitudes. The critical exponents interpolate continuously between those of the periodic and of the random model.
