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.
