Need help with clipping mask and cropping outside of it

Hello, I'm new to Illustrator and I'm trying to figure out how to crop the excess shapes outside of my clipping mask. 

I want to crop the shapes outside of these clipping masks so that I can use this pattern as a swatch. Can anyone help me with this?
