Any pattern can be foundation pieced but that is not always the best method--especially for something like this pattern where it is mainly strips and snowballs. This one looks difficult because it has been diagonally set and they've used partial blocks in the first (invisible) border to make the design "float". Go for it! This is a simple design. You can do it!

Sorry, didn't see the previous question. I probably wouldn't paper piece this pattern. You have to sew a partial seam on the one block, do the other sides, then come back and finish the first seam. The free pattern from in the beginning is only for the borders.

It's a simple block pattern with the blocks set together from corner to corner.
