Now that New Leaf has an option to grab paths made by others by using QR codes, placing paths has became much more popular. Some people make their own and others use some free ones online.

What do you do? Do you use more than one type of path? Do you use the grass deterioration feature to make paths? What do your paths look like?
 
One type of path. I have modern tiles that have interlocking pieces to make them look like they aren't even tiles. They are pretty photo realistic and they blend into my town quite well.
 
I design my own path pattern. It makes my town original and unique. ^^ I don't share my current path pattern. However I make my old path patterns available on the Able Sister's forum and on my Tumblr account (in my sig).

My grass patterns made popular by bidoof crossing and acnl closet.
My path patterns some of them featured on bidoof and fellow ac:nl websites.

I use a couple different ones. I'm considering changing the cream colored one but it won't be until I make another alt character. These are some of the paths:

Considering replacing it with this one:

I mixed a set of three one-tile patterns with another set of water paths. I really like it, though I don't know if my DA has them in it.
 
My main path is a dirt road pattern. My side paths are dirt as well. And my plaza is mossy cobble.

You can kind of see the main path and side paths.

This is the plaza tile im using for the moment.
I plan on adding some pond patterns and possible flower box patterns.

I like to use a main brick path for pathways 2+ pixels wide, and 1 tile width paths I use stepping stones.
 
My main paths consist of a one-tile pinkish tan brick path that has little hearts on it. I also use a matching stair path. They're both two tiles wide. I have little streams going around my town tree, my house, the town hall, and the roost as well. Finally, I use a one-tile stone path as stepping stones within my zen area.

Oh wait, I also have one-tile dirt path surrounded by grass to use in the tight areas where I've created "hedge mazes".

While I feel like I've listed a lot, it's almost nothing compared two a lot of towns.
 
I make my own, here's what I'm using currently.

Unfortunately I don't have a good shot of it in daylight.
I post all the paths I make onto my tumblr (except for paths that were commissioned from me) /shamelessplug

I don't remember which one Im using currently but this is the set i've been using. I know for sure I haven't used the flower tho.
 
I plan on using this one, when I get the sewing machine unlocked.

My path is a one-tile deal, that I designed myself. I lay them out in a two-tile width, and it's not a bad look.

My DA is below if you'd like to take a look, but be warned; they're paths that I like.
That is to say, bright colors, and really tacky-looking.
 
The one in my avatar. (But it was designed for spring, so it looks great in the spring or summer, but kinda odd in the fall and winter, lol)
