Some people have answered that there are three syllables. This is not the case in any version of English that I have heard! It did use to be said that way hunderds of years ago, which is why it came to be spelt with three vowels. I think that some answerers are just looking at the written form, and dividing it on a rule of "one vowel, one syllable", forgetting that in this word, -ED is just pronounced as D.
Quarrel = Kwo-rel (there's not really an e-sound there, but rather the L is almost like a vowel).
Quarrelled = Kwo-reld - two syllables
Hope this helps

The way I pronounce it is quarr-elled, (two syllables); but then again, I am from Texas (and have a southern drawl) so I may be wrong!
