Default Help remaking old quilt

My daughter is pregnant. Expecting in July. I found an old quilt that was made for her and given to me the day she was born--27 years ago this March. It was made with 3 inch flannel squares and flannel backing. I have taken it apart. The batting had completely fallen apart. It was tied not quilted. The squares are frayed and I know I will have to cut them down, maybe can get 2 1/2 inch squares. The fabric feels frail, thin. My question is should I just sew the smaller squares and quilt using a close quilting meandering or should I use some kind of fusible stabilizer behind each square before sewing together?
