I'm not sure what type of carpet you are going for, but some fabrics can be
simulated pretty well with the "quilted" pattern. From two feet away, I think a
normal pattern should suffice. For real close-ups you could use "quilted" as an
isosurface function, with real 3D geometry and thus more realistic lighting
(haven't tried this myself, so no quarantees).
