To blame (someone for having done something) is a verb and describes the act of putting responsibility on someone for something that they did (that is usually wrong).
Guilt is an emotion people feel when they know they have done something wrong.
So, I might blame you for spilling a glass of red wine on my carpet. In other words, I think you are the person that spilled the wine on my carpet. If it was in fact you that did it, you might feel guilt about it, in other words you are sorry you spilled the wine.
Does that help?

Guilt says,"I could have done something", while blame says "You should have done something."

Blame is to feel or declare that (someone or something) is responsible for a fault or wrong.
"the inquiry blamed the train driver for the accident"
Guilt is the fact of having committed a specified or implied offence or crime.
"it is the duty of the prosecution to prove the prisoner's guilt"
