The rules for qu are simple; 1. When you hear the sound /kw/ the spelling is always qu.
In English, QU is always used as a digraph (a pair of letters representing a single speech sound) for the sound /kw/ (a voiceless labiovelar stop). Q's pairing with U is a Latin invention that has its origin in Greek. Q without U is used to represent sounds not often found in English but typical in Semitic languages.
A digraph is a single sound which is represented by two letters. When the letter "u" follows the letter "q" is not a vowel, it's the digraph "qu".
