At the "new" moon, the moon is between the Earth and the Sun. When it is on a direct line between the Earth and Sun, that new moon becomes a solar eclipse.

How are the sun moon and Earth are positioned relative to each other during a new moon and how this alignment changes to produce a full moon?
During the new moon the Moon is between the Earth an the Sun. Hence only the side that cannot be seen from Earth is illuminated, making the moon appear dark. During the full moon the Earth is between the Sun and the Moon so sunlight falls on the side of the moon facing the Earth, making it appear bright.
Why do you not see the new moon?
During a new moon, the earth blocks the sun's rays from hitting the moon, and thus does not let the moon reflect light to your eye. Basically, the new moon is covered completely by the earth's shadow.

Where would the quarter moon be in relation to the earth?
When the moon is in the same direction of the sun, it is called a new moon. A week after the new moon, when the moon has completed about a quarter of it's turn around Earth, this is called the first quarter and about three weeks after the new moon and a week after the full moon, it is called the last quarter. If you visualise the moon turning around the Earth and imagine that the direction of which the sun is shining is called the "front' of the Earth, the the quarter moon would be at the 'sides' of the Earth and the full moon is at the 'back'.
