I think you've got it. Give us an example. Here's a fake one:
Item: ACME Fabric
SKU1: ACME100
Attribute: Thread Count
Variations: 100
Attribute: Color
Variations: red, blue, white
Attribute: Width
Variations: 1 yard, 2 yards
SKU2: ACME125
Attribute: Thread Count
Variations: 125
Attribute: Color
Variations: black, white
Attribute: Width
Variations: 1 yard
You might end up with this in your basket:
Item Quantity Total
ACME Fabric (ACME100) 2 $50.00
Color: red
Width: 1 yard
I guess that the quantity would be understood to be a length in yards.
