How to form a matrix with the existing 7 matrices with following rules

Now, I have 7 matrices (with specific values) in total, W(6x6), C1(3x3), C2(3x3), C3(3x3),C4(3x3),C5(3x3),C6(3x3). I want to form a matrix A (18x18) with following rules:
A= [w(1,1)*C1 w(1,2)*C1 w(1,3)*C1 w(1,4)*C1 w(1,5)*C1 w(1,6)*C1
w(2,1)*C2 w(2,2)*C2 w(2,3)*C2 w(2,4)*C2 w(2,5)*C2 w(2,6)*C2
w(3,1)*C3 w(3,2)*C3 w(3,3)*C3 w(3,4)*C3 w(3,5)*C3 w(3,6)*C3
w(4,1)*C4 w(4,2)*C4 w(4,3)*C4 w(4,4)*C4 w(4,5)*C2 w(4,6)*C4
w(5,1)*C5 w(5,2)*C5 w(5,3)*C5 w(5,4)*C5 w(5,5)*C5 w(5,6)*C5
w(6,1)*C6 w(6,2)*C6 w(6,3)*C6 w(6,4)*C6 w(6,5)*C6 w(6,6)*C6]
Do I have a way to form matrix A without typing them manually? Because, in the future, I would probability solve 1000 C matrices, which is time consumming to type in manually. Thank you.

"Do I have a way to form matrix A without typing them manually?"
Of course, it is easy once you avoid using numbered variables.

Yes, that would be very time consuming. That is why no experienced MATLAB user defines lots of numbered variable names: because it wastes their time (code writing time, debugging time, runtime). Indexing is so much simpler and more efficient.

This is easiest when you avoid anti-pattern numbered variables and use one array, e.g. a cell array:
W = rand(6,6);
C = {rand(3,3),rand(3,3),rand(3,3),rand(3,3),rand(3,3),rand(3,3)}; % one array
N = numel(C);
A = kron(W,ones(3,3)).*repmat(vertcat(C{:}),1,N); % or REPELEM instead of KRON
Checking the first output submatrix (the others you can check yourself):
>> size(A)
ans =
18 18
>> A(1:3,1:3)
ans =
0.181146 0.014799 0.190315
0.100409 0.250922 0.047237
0.046128 0.018101 0.180526
>> W(1,1)*C{1}
ans =
0.181146 0.014799 0.190315
0.100409 0.250922 0.047237
0.046128 0.018101 0.180526

Try not assigning everything individually rather create a vector of input and reshape it
