You could start with 2, instead of 3, on point. It would be 2,3,2,3,2,3,2. Thereby using all 17 blocks.
Then perhaps the largest triangles would go in in the 4 corners, and the other triangles on the sides (4) and top and bottom (2). Or, if 14 of the triangles are all the same size, you could use 2 in each corner instead of one larger one.
I don't know the sizes of all the parts, so just taking a guess.

This looks like a sampler quilt I made many years ago as a class to make a quilt as you go quilt. It was done using the
Georgia Bonesteel method. It was a great method. As for the missing square you could make one that is similar to those you have, or, you could write the story of the quilt, put it on a fabric square you can run through the printer (maybe use a photo or two) and put it into the quilt. The blocks are lovely and the story touching.

This will be beautiful when done and so nice of you to finish it for her! I think the dark blue sashing makes the blocks pop. Please post when you are done, I would love to see it!

I love the second way that you laid out the blocks. I had also thought of forming them into a central medallion. Then you could use as many of the triangles as you needed and you'd be free to add borders as necessary to make a big enough quilt. You are a very kind person to help this elderly lady complete her desire to complete something wonderful for her grandson.
