Most of what people call feed sack fabric is actually flour or sugar sack fabric. They're a finer weave than feed sacks. Feed sacks had feed for animals in them so they weren't necessarily all that fine of a weave. Flour and sugar sack fabric got used for clothes and the scraps for quilts. Feed sack fabric got used for quilt backings and things the looser weave was okay for.
