That's a special case. After the letter q the u counts as a consonant, not a vowel.
QU as a consonant
Verbs ending with qu + vowel + consonant follow the same rule.
This is because the u is acting for the consonant sound /w/ in the verb.
Examples:
Quit - He says he's quitting his job next month.
Equip - The coach is equipping the team with a new strip.
Squat - We found them squatting behind the bushes.
