I think life is too short to do something you don't enjoy unless it's necessary. Yes, you might learn something new if you soldier on and do it, but you also could be using that time and all that fabric to make something you really want to do. I went to a mystery quilt weekend with my sister once and we had a lovely time. It was a Jewel Box pattern and came out nicely. But it was pretty standard process, strips and squares and half-square triangles. I don't think I'd follow through on what you've been set out to do. Make your decision, and don't second guess yourself, whatever it is.
Enjoy every day!
