    My mom had a quilt in her cedar chest and had no problems and it had lots of white in it. I would be more afraid of hanging a folded quilt in the sun than folded in in a wood box. Those chests are beautiful.

    How beautiful are those! My hub and I were talking yesterday how Craftsmanship is being lost in our throw away society. The younger generation is losing a treasure that can never be replaced.

    Hubby is patiently waiting for me to put the backing on his quilt so it can go in his trunk . The top has been done for over a year. :shock: This is the trunk. We purchased it at a flea market. It was in terrible shape but we refinished it and now it looks pretty good.

    That is quite some chest. I can see it arriving at a sailing ship loading dock, and being loaded onto the vessel for transit to far away places.
