One thing I enjoy about this site, is that googling to find answers brings up so many techniques and patterns. Here is one pattern of the template, though getting it to the precise size might be difficult. http://blog.petitdesignco.com/2010/0...late-help.html
I believe the Jacob's Coat is indeed the old Joseph's Coat pattern, one of the many blocks with Biblical background. It is not the pumpkin seed block, which has fewer sides. Nor is it Robbing Peter... Also I found at least one one other Joseph's Coat with a completely different look.

Would love to see your quilt when you finish.

I just started piecing Joseph's Coat using Inklingo. If you haven't heard of Inklingo, check it out at Inklingo.com.
I would post a picture of what I have pieced, but I don't know how to post a picture here.

If you go to Inklingo.com and search Joseph's Coat you will see that pattern. Inklingo is a method of printing the pattern shapes on your printer, cut on the cutting lines and sew on the stitching lines. I have no affiliation but have used this innovative process and have found they are very precise.

I posted the Inklingo link above...

Here is one I found

I googled this info and found this:"Tickled that I made the block Then I was Tormented when I realized I had been calling it "Jacob's Coat." ". She does have a download -

To me, this one looks like the Cathedral Window with reversed colors. The light color is in the middle and the darker patterns are the frames.
Or is it just me seeing that?

Is it the one with six pedals like a flower? Jan

That would be a good one.
I've never worked with curves
though. Kind of scarey to me.
