Those of you who have teenage kids will understand some of the stuff we are going through, they are complicated creatures and both hubby and I have wanted to find an escape from adulting on more than one occasion over the last few weeks.
On top of this having to dealing with my MIL decline which is harder on my hubby than me. At least she is only a 2 minute trip in the car to see her or a 5 minute walk which is a blessing if she is sleeping or is completely off with the fairies (which is more the case than not now) and he can come straight back home. Just found out she has had another fall today.
Back to the Celtic Tree of Life, here is the top row sewn together and the central block all bordered. The side panels will be 8" x 36" finished and I haven't quite decided if they will be celtic knots or pieced blocks. First I will have to see if I have enough light fabric to make the panels. I had already picked out rectangular knots so we will just have to see if we can get them to fit.
As you can see I haven't stuck to the original block placement. I don't know whatI am going to do for borders. I originally thought I'd do an appliqué border but it is kind of losing its appeal.

Amanda it's gorgeous so far esp. with those tiny square in a square blocks with the gem colored centers surrounding them. Makes in cohesive from the appliqued celtic tree and then the bordered blocks.
Sorry to hear of those difficulties you're dealing with. Just remember the good Lord doesn't deal to those who can't so he must indeed have faith in you.
Just remember to breathe and smile for many years down the road this times will be treasured moments.
It's gorgeous so far. Hopefully you've figure out how to do the borders.
Hope things are getting better on the home front. Drama seems to be the operative word when you've got teenagers in the house.
