Hi, joining, for instance, {{{1, 2}, {3, 4}}, {{5, 6}, {7, 8}}, {{9, 10}, {11, 12}}, {{13, 14}, {15, 16}}} we have to get {{1, 2, 5, 6}, {3, 4, 7, 8}, {9, 10, 13, 14}, {11, 12, 15, 16}} A possible solution: In[1] = joinBlocks[matrixOfMatrices_?(MatrixQ[#,MatrixQ]&)] := Flatten[Map[ Join @@@ Transpose[#] &, matrixOfMatrices], 1]; For example, {{{{1,2},{3,4}},{{5,6},{7,8}}},{{{9,10},{11,12}},{{13,14},{15,16}}}}//MatrixForm (output suppressed), In[2]= joinBlocks[{{{{1,2},{3,4}},{{5,6},{7,8}}},{{{9,10},{11,12}},{{13,14},{15,16}}}}] Out[2]= {{1,2,5,6},{3,4,7,8},{9,10,13,14},{11,12,15,16}} This works on more general matrices as well. For example, on Fold[Partition, Range[48], {2, 2, 3}] // MatrixForm (output suppressed) In[3] = joinBlocks[Fold[Partition, Range[48], {2, 2, 3}]] Out[3] = {{1, 2, 5, 6, 9, 10}, {3, 4, 7, 8, 11, 12}, {13, 14, 17, 18, 21, 22}, {15, 16, 19, 20, 23, 24}, {25, 26, 29, 30, 33, 34}, {27, 28, 31, 32, 35, 36}, {37, 38, 41, 42, 45, 46}, {39, 40, 43, 44, 47, 48}} Hope this helps.
