No not just cedar; all wood. I've seen a lot of very old quilts that were stored in cedar chests, or other wooden boxes and they had lots of large yellow spots on them. It's so hard to get out.There are a couple of products that will remove some of it.
However, most chests were not sealed in any way back then. So it may be different if the wood is sealed. I'll have to talk to my guru and get back to you............
