How to make this block?

Shaded 4-Patch Miniature Quilt
This was my first miniature quilt (11.5" x 14.5") which is not very precisely made, but it was the best I could do at that early stage of my quilting. I made the shaded 4-Patch block which was a one-inch square and fussy-cut the squares to feature the hearts. What was I thinking? I used #8 perle cotton thread to emphasize the heart shapes. I was pleased with my efforts.

I have seen this block used many times, but I have never seen a name for it, nor instructions. I could play with it and figure it out, but I'm wondering if anyone has seen any tutorials for it or knows of short cuts, etc.
I want to do it scrappy, so I need to know the dimensions of the squares to cut into triangles. I'm looking for guidelines so I can determine later what size block I want. I prefer to go big and trim down, if that makes sense. Also, I don't want to stress over points; I'd like to have them but won't worry if they get clipped a little, if that makes instructions easier.
Thanks in advance for your input!
