Did you line the cedar chest with sheeting or muslin first? You really want to do that because cedar (like other woods and paper products) contain an acid that gradually eats into fabric. That's why many old quilts that were left folded in a cedar chest for years have brown spots along the fold edges where the fabric touched the wood.
