Form a big matrix from small matrices

[NGUYENHUYHIEU]

Hi all,

Anyone knows how to form a matrix as below:

bigC = [
C0 C1 C2 ...... C(n-1)
C1 C0 C1 ...... C(n-2)
C2 C1 C0 ...... C(n-3)
......................................
C(n-1) C(n-2) C(n-3) ...... C0 ] ???

where Ci's are square matrices.

The toeplitz command works well if Ci's are numbers, for example:
c = [1 2 3 4 5];
r = [1 2 3 4 5];
toeplitz(c,r)

ans =

1 2 3 4 5
2 1 2 3 4
3 2 1 2 3
4 3 2 1 2
5 4 3 2 1

Any suggestions if Ci's are matrices?
Thanks

I'd just write a couple of for loops but there is probably a better way, 'cell' looks relevant.
