I will present results for the properties of nuclei from the oxygen to calcium isotopes based on two- and three-nucleon interactions, fit only to few-body systems. This includes studies of the theoretical uncertainties. The same two- and three-nucleon interactions predict the properties of neutron-rich matter in astrophysical environments. I will discuss results for the equation of state and connections with the physics of exotic nuclei.
