Default help needed modifying pattern with triangles.

This is the table runner I'm working on:
http://quilting.about.com/od/holiday...ble_runner.htm

The problem is I already had strips cut at 1 1/2" for an Around the World set of placemats and a runner that I decided I'm just not going to do. So I figured I could just adapt this pattern to use those 1 1/2" strips instead of the 1 3/4" ones called for.

All is well for the blocks, but not for the setting and corner triangles. I thought I had figured out how to modify them, but ... adding the next border will cut the corners off.

So ... can anyone figure out what size the triangles should be? Or should I just keep doing what I'm doing and lose the outside tips on the blocks?

The picture shows the left side with the dark green border just laid on the block, the top shows how the triangles meet the block, the triangle on the bottom right is the size the pattern called for - I think 1 1/2" need to be trimmed from it to allow for the seams taken in the block, but ... I really have no idea!
