Irish Chain Quilt

This week I have been working on this quilt. It was huge!! 109 x 110 inches.

I did the feather circle centers and pebbling to fill it in.

Feathers and leaves filled in the borders. Here's a shot of the back. I love how it turned out.

So, this next week will be crazy as I get ready to go to Romania. I tried to make it so that I didn't have any projects to have the week before I leave, but it looks like my magazine quilt will have to be done this next week, so that's what I will be doing. Plus writing a couple of patterns, it's going to be a fun, but tough week. I am excited to leave for the trip, but I am feeling completely guilty about leaving the kids. The hardest part about this is thinking about my kids. I am with them 24/7 and I am worried that it will be hard on them and me. Not to mention all of the terrible scenarios I have conjured up in my mind which make me absolutely nuts. Is it just a mom thing, or do I just worry too much? The kids will be fine right? My baby won't forget me after 8 days? Please help me! I think I might just go a little mad.
